Exposition Centennale

1889

A universal recognition

 

General info:
The Exposition Centennale of the Exposition Universelle in 1889 in Paris can be seen as a universal recognition for an artist. It is interesting to see what works were exhibited. This page will render some impression. I will render special attention to the partakers of the ‘impressionist’ expositions and partly to pre-impressionists and para-impressionists. I mostly will limit to exhibited paintings.
First you will find art-works shown by the partakers of the ‘impressionist’ expositions. Then art-works of other artists. Then you will find some general info on this centenial exposition and then info on the catalogues. See link for explanation of the subscriptions. Note: If you double click on the first picture (of a group) and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. Enjoy!

 

Art-works of the ‘impressionists’ at the Centennial exhibition:
Of 10 partakers of the ‘impressionist’ expositions 32 art-works were shown at the Centennial exhibition of the Exposition Universelle in 1889. Of the following partakers some paintings were shown: of Boudin (3); Cals (2); Cézanne (1); Colin (3); Desboutin (1); Monet (3); Pissarro (2); J-F Raffaëlli (5). Also other art-works were shown: Félix Bracquemond showed 2 pastels and 6 etchings; Desboutin showed 1 etch; Alphonse Legros showed 2 etchings; J-F Raffaëlli showed 1 pastel.
