Chagall, Picasso and Mondrian and Others

Chagall, Picasso and Mondrian were migrants. And, despite their success, often faced hardships because they were not French nationals. This publication also sheds light on artists who garnered less fame during their sojourn in the French capital. Like Joaquín Torres-García, founded an artists’ group and journal in Paris, and eventually returned to Uruguay. There, he promoted the development of Latin-American art. Or Nicolaas Warb, whose name was actually Fine Warburg, to be taken seriously by French critics, assumed a less German-sounding male pseudonym.
