NEW WORLDS – Champs de Mars
From the 19th century onwards French art and culture strongly stimulated activities elsewhere and this led in the first half of the 20th century to Paris emerging as an artistic centre that was known and revered worldwide. Numerous artists, photographers, and poster designers flocked to the French capital to seek inspiration from its hustle-and-bustle and its creative community; vaudeville theatre also experienced its heyday there in the decades straddling the turn of the century. Up until 1900 the Champs de Mars was the venue for five world exhibitions and other international fairs for trade and industry. Erected in 1889 on the occasion of the world’s fair that year, the Eiffel Tower featured as a leitmotif of Modernity in numerous images, photographs and on posters and thus established itself as a landmark for the French capital – a role it still plays today.
