Unit 1 The Salons of Paris
However, by the late 19th century this measure was not enough to satisfy artists of
new and emerging styles. [A] In response to the conservative Salon, a small group of
artists was allowed to organize its own yearly exhibition in 1884, featuring works
from all styles, called the Salon des Independents. [B] The values of the new
exhibitions were very different from those of the official Salon. [C] First of all, the
system of judges was abandoned, and the public was allowed to judge works of art
based on their own merits rather than the opinions of academics. [D] In addition, no
work of art was rejected, and all submissions found a place on the exhibition grounds.
This free-thinking approach gave much-needed exposure to France's rising artists,
many of whom represented the very future of modern art. For instance, the works of
now-legendary painters such as Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, and Vincent Van
Gogh made some of their first appearances here.
