Talk:Salon (Paris)

[Untitled]
I think this entry needs to be restructured. For besides the officiel "Salon" in 1890 the "Salon au Champ de Mars" was created; this was the first "Secession" and the base of all further "Secessions" in Europe, indeed. But already in 1884 the "Société des Artists Indépendants" had been established in Paris - for a while highly important, and this society is still existing and based at the Grand Palais in Paris, like the "Société des Salons d'Automne". --wunny 00:52, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

The Jury System
Does anyone know more about how the jury worked? The article states that they were awarded artists, but I am curious about the criteria used for judging, and who exactly these people were. Any help would be appreciated. Birdlip (talk) 12:48, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Present status?
The article says, "From 1881 onward, it has been organized by the Société des Artistes Français;" which suggests that the Salon is still being organized; but the rest of the article treats it in the past tense, and says nothing about it after the early 20th C. If the Salon is still going, that should be made clear, and something should be said about its current activities. If not, then the article should relate what became of it. J. D.

 * Good catch there. I think "managed" is a better word. "Organized" seems to suggest that there are an unending number of things that need to changed every year the show is held. --Wapiti (talk) 14:44, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Early Splinter Groups?
The section under this title is a bit jumbled. It begins by introducing The Impressionists, but then we are back in the 1850s and the lead up to the Salon des Refusees. Impressionism didn't come along until about 1870. ---

Medals
The article states that medals were first awarded in 1849. However, the article The Raft of the Medusa indicates that that work received a medal when presented at the 1819 Salon. Which is correct? - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 20:44, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
