After leaving the Guimet Museum, Ye Tian and the others did not return to the Regina Hotel, but went to the Pompidou Cultural and Art Center in the Latin Quarter of Paris!
The Center Pompidou is a modern art museum located on Beaubourg Street on the right bank of the Seine. It is nicknamed 'Beaubourg' by Parisian locals.
Because its postmodernist architecture looks very much like a factory, this famous museum is also known as the 'Oil Refinery' or the 'Cultural Factory'!
This is a very famous museum, one of the three art treasure houses in Paris. The other two art treasure houses are the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay.
If the Louvre represents the ancient civilization of France, it is solemn and elegant! Then the Center Pompidou is a symbol of modern Paris, fashionable and avant-garde!
Unlike most museums in Paris, the Pompidou Cultural Center closes very late. Except for Tuesdays, this museum is open until 9pm!
Every Thursday, the Center Pompidou will extend its opening hours until 11pm, and today happens to be Thursday!
Because of this, Ye Tian and the others rushed to this world-famous cultural and art center without worrying about being rejected or not having enough time to visit!
At nearly seven o'clock, the group of them arrived at the Pompidou Center for Culture and Art. They immediately bought tickets and entered this famous museum, starting another art journey!
The Pompidou Cultural and Art Center is divided into four parts, the Industrial Design Center, the Public Information Library, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Music and Vocal Research Center, for adults to visit, study, and engage in research.
In addition, this cultural and art center has also set up two children's playgrounds, and one is a children's library with 20,000 volumes of children's paintings and calligraphy.
The other is a children's studio, where children aged 4 to 12 can learn painting, dancing, acting, crafts, etc.
The reason why Ye Tian came to the Pompidou Cultural and Art Center was entirely for the Museum of Modern Art, and he was not interested in other contents of the Pompidou Cultural and Art Center!
The Pompidou Museum of Modern Art is different from those old art museums. It focuses on the word "modern" and specializes in introducing various Western plastic arts since the 20th century.
The artworks collected in this modern art museum are all representative works of major modern art schools, clearly and completely reflecting the process of modern art!
Including Fauvism, Cubism, Abstraction, Surrealism, Structuralism, Conceptual Art and Pop Art, there are more than 2,000 works in total.
In addition to its large collection of modern art, this modern art museum also has a unique way of displaying its collections, which is very modern!
The museum has designed a main tour route in chronological order!
On this line, representative works of various art schools are arranged according to the time of appearance. There are many small exhibition rooms around them to introduce the works of certain writers of certain schools.
In this way, the audience can not only understand the overview of modern Western art, but also conduct in-depth research on a certain field or writer of interest.
And the museum also has shelves that can be lifted, lowered and moved to hang those works that are not on display!
Visitors only need to press the button, and these automatic racks will begin to move up and down, displaying in front of people the collections that the audience wants to appreciate but are not on display.
Walking on this main tour route, every visitor to the Center Pompidou will have the feeling of walking on the road of modern art, which is very wonderful!
After entering the museum, Ye Tian and the others walked quickly towards the escalator while admiring the huge post-modern style building, preparing to go straight to the Museum of Modern Art on the fourth floor.
As before, Ye Tian introduced this world-famous cultural center to Betty and the others during the trip.
“In 1969, in memory of President Charles de Gaulle, who led France to defeat Hitler in World War II, then French President Georges Pompidou initiated the construction of a modern art museum.
This is the origin of the Pompidou Center for Culture and Art. In 1974, before the completion of the cultural center, President Pompidou died of cancer. When the building was completed and opened, it was named Pompidou Center in commemoration.
The biggest feature of the Pompidou Cultural Center building is the exposed steel structure and complex pipelines. This huge post-modern building has caused huge controversy since its construction.
Compared with the traditional buildings in Paris, this building seems too avant-garde and even a bit deviant. It is generally unacceptable to the people of Paris, but the art world has given strong support!
Despite the controversy, the Pompidou Cultural Center has attracted more than 150 million visitors in the decades since its opening, becoming another famous landmark in Paris..."
While talking, Ye Tian and his group had already boarded the escalator, and soon disappeared from the lobby on the first floor and went up to the second floor!
At the same time, there was a small stir in the lobby on the first floor, and discussions started to spread to every corner!
"Go! Why did this crazy guy Steven come to the Pompidou Cultural Center? As soon as I see this guy, I will think of the scene where he dragged the body onto the bank of the Seine. It was so terrifying.
It seems that I have to change my visit plan, leave the Pompidou Center as soon as possible, and try to stay as far away from Steven as a bastard. If I continue to stay here, God knows what will happen next! "
"Obviously, this **** Steven is here for the Museum of Modern Art on the fourth floor and the top-notch artworks. Fortunately, this is not an antique flea market, so you don't have to worry about being robbed by him like crazy!"
On the other side, the person in charge of the Pompidou Cultural and Art Center has also received news that Ye Tian has arrived!
After learning the news, the person in charge immediately frowned and had a headache!
Every Parisian now knows how dangerous Ye Tian is.
Especially professionals in the field of antique art collection have an extremely deep understanding of it, and the person in charge of the Pompidou Cultural Center is certainly no exception!
Although he knew that Ye Tian was very dangerous and a known troublemaker, he could not issue an eviction order to drive Ye Tian and the others out of the Pompidou Cultural Center!
All he could do was to instruct his security personnel to keep a close eye on Ye Tian and the others to prevent them from causing trouble at the Pompidou Cultural and Art Center!
So, when Ye Tian and the others arrived at the Museum of Modern Art on the fourth floor, in addition to the Paris policemen in plain clothes, there were also a few nervous tails behind them!
For this kind of situation, Ye Tian and the others have long been accustomed to it. They are no longer surprised and don't take it to heart at all!
Using his clairvoyance ability, Ye Tian instantly identified the identities of the security personnel. After confirming that there was no danger, he immediately withdrew his gaze and ended the clairvoyance!
Immediately afterwards, he walked into the first personal exhibition room of the Museum of Modern Art, the personal exhibition room of the famous French painter, founder and main representative of Fauvism, Henri Matisse!
While entering this exhibition room, he also began to introduce this exhibition room and the Fauvist master Matisse to Betty and the others in a low voice.
"Fauvism was named after the Paris Autumn Salon exhibition in 1905. At that time, a group of avant-garde artists led by Matisse caused an uproar by exhibiting a series of works at the Salon.
Some people vividly described Matisse's paintings as "a can of paint thrown in front of the public". The famous French journalist Louis Vosseur exclaimed, "Donatello is locked in a cage of beasts." ! ’.
Soon after, this witticism was published in the magazine "Gil Blas". From this, Brutalism got its name and soon gained wide recognition in the art circle. After that, Brutalism began to become popular!
In the history of art, it is generally believed that Fauvism, born in 1905, was the beginning of modern art. As the founder and representative of Fauvism, Matisse’s personal exhibition room appears here! ..."
While talking, Ye Tian and the others had entered the Matisse exhibition room, came to the painting closest to the door of the exhibition room, and began to appreciate this representative work of the master of Fauvism, Matisse!
For the next time, they were in this personal exhibition room, appreciating the unrestrained passion of art master Matisse, feeling the enthusiasm of Fauvism, and swimming in the ocean of art!
And this is just the beginning, there will be Cubism, Abstraction, Surrealism, Structuralism, etc., as well as outstanding works by famous art masters such as Kandinsky, Braque, Picasso, etc.!
