EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment in art history - the Architecture Chapter from the Salon des Refuses in 1863. The image, created by an anonymous French artist of the 19th century, is now housed at The Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, County Durham, UK. The Salon des Refuses was an exhibition that caused scandal and controversy within the art world. It consisted of rejected artworks from the prestigious Paris Salon, which was considered the pinnacle of artistic recognition at that time. This print showcases a listing of pages containing names of artists whose works were deemed unworthy for display at the salon. The rejection list became a symbol of rebellion against traditional artistic norms and sparked what later came to be known as "Succes de Scandale". Artists who found themselves on this list often went on to achieve great success and acclaim outside of mainstream institutions. Through this lithograph, we are reminded of how art can challenge conventions and provoke thought. It serves as a testament to those brave artists who dared to defy societal expectations and forge their own paths in pursuit of creative expression. As we gaze upon this historic document, we are transported back to a time when controversy reigned supreme in the art world - forever etching its mark on our collective memory.
