Alberto Giacometti was in Geneva during the Second World War. In 1945 he returned to Paris. His old studio was still intact and he could have simply continued working.
The Alsace artist, Hans Arp, had already played a central role as artist and poet in the Dadaist movements in Zürich and Paris. Humour and irony also characterised his later work, especially the reliefs.
In 1926 Alexander Calder left America and went to Paris where the most important new artists of the time were working. His encounter with the Dutchman Piet Mondrian was groundbreaking.

Fernand Léger was not a painter of finely nuanced colour tones like Robert Delaunay, and he also wasn’t a strict Cubist like Braque and Picasso. Léger was a painter of expressive contrasts: colour, line and form come into direct conflict in his pictures.
Alongside Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard became the leading painter of intimate interiors at the beginning of the 20th century. They had a mutual interest in the refined use of colour in the rooms.

After the First World War Fernand Léger's work changed; the animated, fragmented compositions made way for a new form. A cool order determined his works.
Pablo Picasso was fond of painting the motifs he was working with in a series. Every day he would take the subject in hand and paint a new version of it.
In 1909 Vallotton rented a villa in Honfleur on the coast of Normandy as a summer residence. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in his painting; in the years that followed he turned his attention to landscape painting.
Bonnard, Vuillard and Félix Vallotton belonged to the circle of Nabis painters. Among them Vallotton was “le nabi étranger”, the stranger from the Canton of Vaud, and also the outsider.
This portrait of a child by Henri Rousseau is supposed to have been a contracted picture. From early on, both the picture and its artist were surrounded by myths.
Impressionism was born in 1874. An exhibition was organised in Paris under the title of “première exposition impressionniste,” which launched a new style of painting and caused a sensation.
Vincent van Gogh became familiar with Impressionism in Paris. When he arrived in Arles in 1888 this encounter lay in the past and he was looking for new mediums of expression.
