Salon
In France, an exhibition of art by members of the French Royal Academy, originating in 1667 and held then in the Salon d'Apollon of the Louvre Palace, Paris; held annually since the time of the French Revolution. In the 19th-c the selection jury refused to hang many of the Impressionist and Postimpressionist painters, whose work was then shown (1863 and 1883) in the Salon des Refusés. The Salon des Indépendents is an annual art exhibition first held in Paris in 1884. In recent years, the term has come to be applied to other kinds of exhibition, such as the book-fair, Salon du Livre.
