Interwar Paris, diversity and freedom

Between the two world wars, Paris was the centre of the cosmopolitan art world, where different styles mingled. The exhibition transports visitors to galleries, salons and Montmartre, introducing them artists and collectors, but also prostitutes and people on the margins of society. It features scenes from cabarets, portraits of artists, still lifes and Provençal landscapes.

Regarding the exhibition, General Director of the National Gallery Prague Alicja Knast states: "Everyone is warmly invited to immerse themselves in interwar Paris with us and enjoy the art of Kars, Coubine and Eberl, Czech painters who succeeded in establishing themselves there. I view the Paris school above all as a strong symbol of how diversity and freedom can support exceptional creativity."

There will be a unique opportunity to see a number of works in Prague recently discovered in American collections that are returning to Europe for the first time, such as a set of works by Othon Coubine, which belonged to the collector Leo Stein, the brother of writer Gertrude Stein.
