"I can do that too!" * and “I don’t understand anything about this!” - we most often hear these two exclamations in museums of modern art. It’s impossible to find a better place to prove the opposite to you than the Pompidou Center! This excursion is for those who want to understand contemporary art and learn to enjoy abstract paintings and intricate installations.
The collection of this famous museum, which is also an art object, almost completely represents the art of the 20th century and modern times - from 1905 to the present day.
Our visit to the Beaubourg, as it is called - a building turned inside out, we will begin with the collections of the Fauves, united around Henri Matisse. Their works are distinguished by the brightness of their colors, surpassing the real colors of the depicted objects. We will see the works of Picasso, talk about cubism and the technique of depicting an object from different angles, creating the impression of movement. We will get acquainted with Dadaism and the famous works of Andy Warhol, in one of which Hollywood actress Elizabeth Taylor smiles with the smile of Mona Lisa.
The permanent exhibition of the Pompidou is constantly updated, the holdings of which are so large that only 3% of the paintings from the storerooms can be displayed in the halls. But we will definitely find the scandalous “Black Square” by Malevich and “Fountain” by Duchamp. And let's try to understand how a black square on a white background, which even a child could draw and an ordinary urinal became works of art. We will “walk” through art from the beginning of the 20th century, through Dada, surrealism and pop art, to the present day and see not only paintings, sculptures and installations, but also examples of industrial design. Like, for example, the iMAc, which Apple donated to the museum in 1999.
* this excursion was developed by a PhD in History of Art, specialist in contemporary art

Всё непонятное вдруг стало понятным! Теперь я смело могу сказать, что меня заинтересовало современное искусство! Благодарю экскурсовода Наталью!
Спасибо Наталья! Путешествие по
основным «измам» ХХ века с
понятными объяснениями.
Доходчиво,интересно,
содержательно, со знанием
дела и любовью к
современному искусству. А
также внимательным
отношением к слушателям.
Наталья хорошо разбирается
в материале и может
сориентировать вас в океане
разных направлений нового
искусства. Рекомендую!
И приехав в Париж, я не могла не пойти на экскурсию. гид Наталья была просто великолепной, видно что ей это интересно и она увлечена тем, о чем рассказывает. Современное искусство не моё, я возможно не доросла, но сама экскурсия от этого не менее интересная и познавательная.
