Salon des Refusés |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.04 sec. |
Salon des RefusésArt exhibition held in 1863 in Paris by command of Napoleon III for those artists whose works had been refused by the jury of the official Salon. Among the exhibitors were Camille Pissarro, Henri Fantin-Latour, James M. Whistler, and Édouard Manet, whose scandalous Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe was officially regarded as an affront to taste.

| And eight years before young Impressionists started the famous Salon des Refuses as an alternative to the official Paris salon art show, Courbet in 1855 created his anti-establishment Pavilion of Realism outside a Paris exhibition in protest of his work being rejected. I cannot say if it smacks more of Salon des Refuses or of the delicate sensitivities of our Prince of Wales. |
