The Société des Artistes Indépendants (''Society of Independent Artists''), Salon des Indépendants, formed in Paris 29 July 1884. The association began with the organization of massive exhibitions in Paris, choosing the device "No jury nor awards" (''Sans jury ni récompense''). Albert Dubois-Pillet, Odilon Redon, Georges Seurat and Paul Signac were among its founders. For the following three decades their annual exhibitions set the trends in art of the early 20th century, along with the Salon d'Automne. This is where artworks were often first displayed and widely discussed. World War I brought a closure to the salon, though the ''Artistes Indépendants'' remained active. Since 1920, the headquarters is located in the vast basements of the Grand Palais (next door to the ''Société des Artistes Français'', the ''Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts'', the Société du Salon d'Automne, and others). ==History== The Salon des Indépendants (Salon des Artistes Indépendants) is an annual independent art exhibition aimed at a large audience that takes place in Paris. It was established in response to the rigid traditionalism of the official government-sponsored Salon. Since the first exhibition of 1884, at the Pavilion de la ville de Paris (Champs-Élysées), the organizing Société des Artistes Indépendants has vowed to bring together the works of artists claiming a certain independence in their art. The event is characterized by the absence of both awards and a selection jury. There are however placement or hanging committees. In contrast to the Salon d'Automne, which takes place in Paris during autumn months, the Indépendants is held during the springtime, inspiring artistic production during winter months, as artists prepare for the show. Several important dates have marked the history of the salon. During the Second Empire, artists not backed by the official ''Académie de peinture et de sculpture'' in charge of the exhibits at the annual ''Salon'' or without support supplied by actual political constellations had little chance to advance. From year to year the number of artists working in Paris, the number of artists submitting works to the official ''Salon'' and the number of works refused by the jury increased, but neither the Second Empire nor the Third Republic found an answer to this situation. For years, the artists had counted on official support. In 1884, finally, the artists began to organise themselves, and a "''Group of independent artists''" was authorised by the Ministry of Fine Arts to arrange an exhibition, while the City of Paris agreed to supply rooms for the presentation. So, from May 15 through July 15, the first "free" exhibition of contemporary art showed more than 5000 works by more than 400 artists. Although sustained by Mesureur, deputy chairman of the Council of Paris and Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of France, by Frédéric Hattat, chairman of the Fine Art commission in the same council, by Albert Dubois-Pillet, commanding the Republican Guard, member of the Grand Orient de France, the beginning of the Company, considered as a nest of revolutionaries, were difficult. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Société des Artistes Indépendants」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
