  1. 1. The End Of The Salon

    Art and the State in the Early Third Republic

    A concise historical study of how the official art Salon lost its dominance in late 19th-century France, tracing the changing relationship between the republican state and artistic institutions, the impact of new exhibition formats and critical practices, and the ways political and cultural shifts opened space for modern movements; based on archival research and institutional analysis, it shows how alterations in patronage, censorship, and public reception reshaped artistic production and the art world.
