Salon of 1882

A Bar at the Folies-Bergère by Édouard Manet

The Salon of 1882 was an art exhibition held at the Palace of Industry in Paris between 1 May and 15 July 1882. [1] it was annual Salon organised by the Académie des Beaux-Arts. It took place during the Belle Époque In the Republic. It should not be confused with the seventh Impressionist Exhibition held in the city the same year.

Despite his close association with the Impressionists Édouard Manet chose to exhibit at the Salon, which was more closely associated with Academic Art. A year before his death, he displayed one of his best known paintings 'A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, which features scene in the Parisian nightclub. Although widely praised and now considered his final masterpiece, critics at the time largely preferred his other submission Spring.[2]

Paul Cézanne finally made his Salon debut with a painting of his father that he had first produced in 1866.[3] Rinaldo Carnielo exhibited the sculpture Mozart Expiring. [4] William Stott of Oldham and Frank O'Meara enjoyed success with landscapes painted en plein air in the village of Grez-sur-Loing.[5]
