Meta-Impressionism / other exhibitions

Centennial exhibitions

continuous recognition

Introduction:
Already in 1889 and 1900 at the Exposition Universelle there had been Centennial exhibitions of French art, in 1889 covering the period from 1789-1889 and in 1900 from 1800-1889. There also have been Centennial exhibitions of French art inside and outside of France. This page will render those exhibitions (as far as I have data).

Some reflections on art-history:
Art-history can have a focus on scandals, but than it downgrades itself to a sort of journalism (see Manet). Art-history can also have a focus on avant-garde painters: what artists were innovative, what artists stood at the beginning of new movements and styles? This seems to be inspired by the dialectic world view of the philosopher Hegel with his thesis vs antithesis (stanford.edu). We see this in the emphasize that is laid in many sources on Impressionism on the rejection of the ‘impressionist’ for the Salon and on comparing Impressionism with Néo-Classicism.
I like to plead for an art-history that (also) focusses on what art-works are consistently appreciated. When an art-work is exhibited at a Centennial exhibition (long after it was made), this could indicate that an art-work is consistently appreciated. So let’s look which artists were present at these Centennial exhibitions and what art-works were shown.

1907, Prague:
1907/09/28 – 11/15, Société Manes: “Peinture française au XIXe siècle, with works of Monet (3x?). Note this could be the same as the exhibition held in October and November called “Triadvacaté výsavy spolku výtvarných umelcu Mánes: Francouzsti impressionisté” (Twenty-third anniversary of the Mánes Association of Visual Artists: the French Impressionists), see link.

Many loans came from art-dealers like Bernheim-Jeune, Beurdeley (Paris), Druet, Durand-Ruel , Paul Rosenberg, Vollard and art-collectors like Ackermann, Barbazanges, Duret, Victor Victorovich Goloubev, Alphonse Kahn, Pearson, Théodore Reinach, Mme Rouart and several collectors from Saint-Petersbourg. Just a few loans came from musea.
Note: the catalogue wasn’t allways accurate such as in the date of birth of Monet and the data of death of Pissarro.
