Salon des Indépendants
Salon des Indépendants. Annual exhibition held in Paris by the Société des Artistes Indépendants, an association formed in 1884 by Georges Seurat (see NEO-IMPRESSIONISM) and other artists in opposition to the official Salon. There was no selection committee and any artist could exhibit on payment of a fee. This meant that many interesting avant-garde works were shown, but also that they ran the risk of being swamped by a sea of mediocrity. It became the main showcase for the Post-Impressionists ( Henri Rousseau was also a regular exhibitor) and was a major art event in Paris up to the First World War. By then, however, it had been challenged by the smaller but more discriminating Salon d'Automne.
