VIIe exposition annuelle des XX.
The following ‘impressionist’ partakers were present: Cézanne (3x, including Maison du pendu), Lucien Pissarro, Redon (iR3), Renoir (5x), Signac, Sisley (6 works). Renoir first rejected to participate, later sends in 5 works, but doesn’t visit the exhibition (R31,p304). Some claim Gauguin also exhibited (iR3), but this is not confirmed by other sources (R181;R49). Probably the works of Sisley were send in by Georges Petit, but this wasn’t done as promised (R53,p141).
Other participants were Neo-Impressionists like Hayet and Post-Impressionists like: Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh (6x). Van Gogh caused a scandal, Henry de Groux withdraw his works (R88II,p211).
