Energizing Paris After Cubism
Jennifer M. Friess, Associate Curator of Photography, University of Michigan Museum of Art, will discuss how electric light energized a new and experimental era of photographic image-making in Paris after the First World War. Although painters and printmakers had been representing scenes illuminated by electric light as early as the 1870s, photographers only started to do so in earnest after the First World War. Featuring photographs, prints, and drawings from the exhibition After Cubism: Modern Art in Paris, 1918–1948.

After Cubism: Modern Art in Paris, 1918–1948
August 18, 2023 - February 18, 2024
In November 1918, just days after the declaration of Armistice and the end of World War I, artists Amédée Ozenfant and Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (later known as Le Corbusier) published their manifesto, Aprés le cubisme (After Cubism). This exhibition from the permanent collection will explore what happened “after cubism,” primarily in prints, drawings, and photographs created in France between the years 1918 and 1948.
