An illustrated anthology of 20th and 21st-century artists' writings on the theme of light as a medium and a form of artistic expression.

This book brings together texts by major international artists in modern and contemporary art (Yoko Ono, Josef Albers, etc.), exploring their approach to light in their artistic practice: natural or electric, kineticism, glare, Land Art, and more. By comparing these texts and works from the Centre Pompidou’s collections and situating them within their historical and artistic contexts, this anthology offers an original theoretical approach to light at the heart of the dematerialization of the artistic experience in the modern and contemporary eras.
