As part of its policy to expand its artistic canon to encompass territories or artists that have been marginalised for geographical or political reasons, the Centre Pompidou is honouring the Polish Constructivist avant-garde of the 1920s. The exhibition, which is centred around two major Constructivist figures, Katarzyna Kobro and Wadysaw Strzemiski, takes you on a complete historic journey through their work in myriad domains – art, typography and industrial design. Organised together with the Polish city of Lodz’s Museum of Art, which was founded by Kobro and Strzemiski and to which they bequeathed the majority of their works, the exhibition reveals their rich and original worlds, which have remained largely unknown to the wider public as a result of the twists and turns of history that have affected their lives and their country.
