Société du Salon d'Automne

Catalog of the Salon d'Automne , 1904

The Société du Salon d'Automne (also known under the shortened name Salon d'Automne or Pariser Herbstsalon ) is one in 1903 by the architect Frantz Jourdain and with the participation of Georges Rouault , Albert Marquet and Édouard Vuillard , alongside the older Odilon Redon , Paul Cézanne , Eugène Carrière and Auguste Renoir - the latter two presided over as honorary presidents. It was a reaction to the conservative policies of the official Salon de Paris .

If the Salon des Indépendants opens in the spring and generally shows studio works that were created during the winter, the new salon, as its name suggests, starts in the autumn, so that the artists show their works created during the summer outdoors can. In contrast to the former, which is limited to painting and sculpture, the autumn salon still provides space for architecture, music, literature and even decorative spaces, but is also generously open to foreign artists.

The Paris Autumn Salon became famous above all through the exhibition in 1905, in which the works of Henri Matisse and his friends were shown in Room VII and the term Fauvism came about. In 1907 Paul Cézanne's retrospective and Paul Gauguin's memorial exhibition took place. In 1911, Guillaume Apollinaire introduced Robert Delaunay , Albert Gleizes , Jean Metzinger and Fernand Léger , among others . After the First World War , the Salon d'Automne was dominated by the works of painters from the artists' district of Montparnasse, such as Marc Chagall , Amedeo Modigliani and Georges Braque . The largest painting to date in the 1927 exhibition, La cueillette des amandes , was by Georges Gimel .

The salon was an important exhibition venue for avant-garde art until the 1950s, when it was overtaken by the radicalism of the Paris Biennale or the Salon de la Jeune Peinture .
