EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Salon des Refuses of 1864, a groundbreaking exhibition that defied convention and challenged the established art world. Created by Alfred Darjoy, this lithograph showcases a collection of caricatures that humorously depict various figures from the salon. In 1863 and 1864, Emperor Napoleon III allowed for a second exhibition to take place, specifically dedicated to showcasing artists whose works had been rejected by the prestigious Paris Salon. Among these artists were renowned names such as Manet, Degas, Monet, Pissarro, Cezanne, and Whistler. The image portrays an interior scene where individuals are seen inspecting paintings with both shock and amusement. The satirical nature of these caricatures mocks not only the bourgeois society but also challenges traditional artistic norms. As viewers float in mid-air propelled by propellers while examining artwork with exaggerated expressions ranging from laughter to disgust, it becomes clear that this alternative salon was meant to provoke critical thought and challenge societal expectations. Through this lithograph's intricate details and clever composition, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in art history when impressionism emerged as a rebellious movement against conservative tastes. This print serves as a testament to the power of artistic expression and its ability to push boundaries while simultaneously entertaining audiences.
