Description: In the early 20th century, Paris attracted artists from around the globe. The city offers them freedom and opportunities. Chagall, Picasso and Mondrian embarked on their careers in Paris. But their fame overshadows the fact that although all three were from different backgrounds, Chagall, Picasso and Mondrian were migrants. And, despite their success, often faced hardships because they were not French nationals. This publication also sheds light on artists who garnered less fame during their sojourn in the French capital. Like Joaquín Torres-García, who traveled form Uruguay to Europe, founded an artists? group and journal in Paris, and eventually returned to Uruguay. There, he promoted the development of Latin-American art. Or Nicolaas Warb, whose name was actually Fine Warburg, to be taken seriously by French critics, assumed a less German-sounding male pseudonym.000Exhibition: Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (21.09.2019-02.02.2020).
