"Le Salon des Refusés: Le Peinture en 1863" is a book written by Fernand Denois about the 1863 "Salon des Refusés" exhibition in Paris. This historic exhibition featured paintings by talented artists who had been rejected by the official French Academy of Arts. The author examines not only the paintings themselves, which were rejected, but also the wider context of the artistic world of the 19th century, where tradition is intertwined with scandals and innovation. This book gives the reader the opportunity to get to know in depth the work of artists who became pioneers of new artistic trends and changed the idea of art in general.
