A LITTLE HISTORY :
Born in 1903 at the Petit Palais in Paris, the Salon d’Automne has marked contemporary art ever since by displaying the constituent avant-gardes on its front
Created in 1903 in the basement of the Petit Palais in Paris by a few friends grouped around Franz Jourdain, the Salon was intended to be a free, strong and independent exhibition of contemporary art. The Salon has marked the 20th century by displaying the avant-gardes that make up modern and contemporary art, at the cost of major scandals that have established its reputation: Fauvism, Cubism, Dadaism, Surrealism, School of Paris, Abstraction, etc. …
The Salon d’Automne de Paris has welcomed many world-famous artists: Matisse, Modigliani Amedeo, Brancusi Constantin, Chagall Marc, Kandinsky Wassily, Chirico Giorgo, Rodin Auguste, Claudel Camille, Bonnard Pierre, Picasso Pablo, Bourdelle Antoine, Cézanne Paul, Show Ousamane, etc.
