About the book >.>.> The Birth of Modern Painting by Gaetan Picon examines the pivotal moment in art history marked by the opening of the Salon des Refusés in Paris in May 1863. This exhibition showcased artists who had been rejected from the official Salon, including notable figures such as Manet, Boudin, Fantin-Latour, Jongkind, Pissarro, Whistler, and Cézanne. This gathering of Rejected painters heralded the onset of a new era?Impressionism?and, subsequently, the evolution of modern art as we understand it today.Picon articulates how the Salon des Refusés symbolised a significant departure from traditional artistic conventions. It highlighted the ongoing struggle between established artistic norms and the burgeoning desire for innovation in art. Manet emerges as a leading figure in this transformative movement, embodying a style that prioritises observation over imagination. His approach, encapsulated by Gauguin's assertion that Painting begins with Manet, signifies a break from the past and a commitment to a new artistic vision grounded in reality.In his exploration, Picon situates the 1863 exhibition within the broader context of the Parisian art scene of the mid to late 19th century. By doing so, he illustrates the exhibition's innovative nature and its considerable impact on the trajectory of modern art. The book serves as a comprehensive analysis of this crucial period, shedding light on the artistic revolutions that not only transformed the landscape of painting but also established the foundation for contemporary artistic practices.
