Paris 1900: Art at the Dawn of a New Century
At the turn of the 20th century, Paris was alive with artistic revolution. The Salon des Indépendants, founded in 1884 by Albert Dubois-Pillet, Odilon Redon, Georges Seurat, and Paul Signac, championed the radical idea of “neither jury nor reward” (ni jury ni récompenses). For the next three decades, their annual exhibitions shaped the course of Western art, offering a platform for innovation and experimentation.
This beautifully illustrated volume showcases the work of the remarkable artists who exhibited at the Salon, where Impressionists like Monet and Morisot, Fauves like Dufy, Friesz, and Marquet, Symbolists like Gauguin, Mucha, and Redon, Nabis like Bonnard, Denis, and Lacombe, and Neo-Impressionists like Cross, Pissarro, and Seurat all found a voice.
Bringing together a stunning array of paintings and graphic works, this book captures the spirit of a revolutionary era and the vibrant energy that transformed the art world forever.
