1906, Salon d’Automne, general info:
The 4th exhibition in 1906 was held from the 6th of October till the 15th of November and was held in the Grand Palais. The catalogue renders 1805 numbers* (and seperately the numbers of the retrospectives).
The organizing committee consisted of 51 members including Guillaumin, Redon and Renoir. The preface was written by Roger Marx. (The art-works were displayed in 18 rooms.)
Renoir and Guillaumin were committee members. The last one also was also president of the painting section. Cordey was part of the jury (for the painting section), as were Lebasque and Manguin; Raffaëlli was a substitute.
