Living room of autumn

The Salon of autumn is an exposure of Art being held annually with Paris since 1903.

The Living room of autumn was created the October 31st 1903 with the Petit Palais, on the initiative of the Belgian Frantz the Jordan (1847-1935), Architecte, man of letters and large art lover, chair trade union of the art critic, and friends like the architects Georges Desvallières and Hector Guimard, the painters Eugene Carrière, Felix Vallotton, Edouard Vuillard, Adrien Schulz, or the decorator Jansen… the goal is double: the Living room of autumn must at the same time offer outlets to the young artists and make discover the Impressionnisme and its prolongations with a popular public. The choice of the autumn as season of presentation is strategic in more than one way: not only it makes it possible to the artists to present their small sizes carried out in outside during the summer, therefore to place itself at the point of the artistic topicality, but it is dissociated from the two other large living rooms (the Nationale and the French Artistes ) which have, them, place in spring.

The Living room of autumn is made conspicuous by its multidisciplinarity, since are mixed paintings, sculptures, Photographie S (as from 1904), drawings, engravings, applied arts… and the clearness of its fitting, more or less by school. The foreign painters are particularly represented there. Since 1904, the Living room leaves the Petit Palais for the Large palace.
