This book offers an exceptional tour of the great moments of non-objective art from the 1920s to the 1950s with a particular focus on international movements and associations such as De Stijl, Circle and Square, Concrete Art or Abstraction- Creation, not forgetting the famous Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, the cenacle of abstract art that made the whole Paris run at the end of the Second World War.
The main theme of this presentation is Auguste Herbin, a painter favored by the Kouro collection and a great activist for the recognition of Abstraction in France, at a time when it still aroused many controversies.
