Autour de Michel Ragon

The writer, poet, historian, essayist, novelist, and art and architecture critic Michel Ragon rapidly expressed his support for the artists of CoBrA, and the proponents of abstract, informal, kinetic and outsider art. In 1965, he founded the GIAP (International Group for Prospective Architecture), which promoted experimental architecture. As part of the new presentation of the Centre Pompidou modern collections (1905-1965), one room has been devoted to this remarkable go-between – a "visionary" deeply committed to his times.
