2021-2022 marked the 20th anniversary of the creation of the National Institute for Art History. To this end, art historians have returned to 20 images that have marked the last 20 years, 20 videos that are projected in the Colbert gallery during the European Heritage Days.
The history of art constitutes this fascinating tool that allows us to read the world differently, through its multiple sensitive expressions. From the Windows XP wallpaper to the Notre-Dame fire, from the cover of a New Order disc, to a euro zone bank note, to the TGV lamps.
From architecture to fashion, painting, cinema or photography, it is a question of showing that research in art history is interested in all sensitive and visual expressions, and thus tells us about our lives and our imaginations in their most prosaic and unexpected dimensions: all images have a history – and all our stories are made up of images.
