Groupe Espace

Groupe Espace was a French avant-garde artistic movement between 1951 and 1960. The group was founded by architect André Bloc in 1951 and members associated with the journal Art d'Aujourd'hui [Art Today]. Their purpose was to create a new environment appropriate to modern society. They envisaged art as a social phenomenon - not an individual one.

Members of the group included Jean Dewasne, Jean Gorin, Jean Messagier, Jean Le Moal, Edgard Pillet, Erno Goldfinger, Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Frits Glamer, Gianni Monnet, Gualtiero Nativi and Nicolas Schöffer.

There was also the London Branch of Groupe Espace from 1953 to 1959, founded by Paule Vézelay.
