Date: 22 Nov, 2011 ~ 27 Nov, 2011
Venue: Grand Palais, Paris, France
Internationally reputed for his Totemic Energy Oil Painting, Professor Lee Sun-Don, a Venice Biennale Artist, was selected to display his latest series works "Image Master" in France's "2011 Salon des artistes independants."
France's century-old "Salon des artistes independants" currently ranks first, not only in France, but also in the world as the top art contest. Established in 1884, France's "Salon des artistes independents" was initiated by the neo impressionist master Seurat. Together with Cezanne, Gauguin, Pizarro, Signac and other like-minded artists, Seurat set up an independent salon to contend with the more conservative salons proclaiming "Freedom, independent of the official jury" as the Salon's spirit. The first salon in 1884 exhibited the works of Seurat, Signac, and other emerging artists that were rejected by the official salon. Since 1920, France's "Salon des artistes independant" moved its exhibition site to the "Grand Palais" known as "Art Gallery of Paris." This salon's artist exhibitors, such as: Monet, Manet, Cezanne and others, have later all become important masters in art history.
