In October 2008, the Musée des Beaux Arts de Lyon will present a major exhibition devoted to European and American art in the wake of the Second World War, with particular attention to the emergence of various movements in each country. The exhibition starts with the end of World War II and concludes with the advent of the Cold War (1945-1950). At that specific moment in time, American and European artists were united in a feeling of starting from scratch, of re-creating art forms stripped of the ideologies that had accompanied artistic creation since the beginning of the twentieth century.

These five years were a moment of intensive research and redefining of pictorial practices, which were to have a deep impact on the subsequent development of modern art.
