1863- salon in conjunction with the official salon, composed of the rejected artists

Manet took part and debuted, "Luncheon on the Grass"

the notion that certain artists and ideas are strikingly new or radical for their time

artists began making art that was only understood by a handful of people: artists and experts

blunt depiction of modern life, generally without emotion

i.e existence of country peasants and downtrodeen urban poor

later evolved into impressionism

empirically capturing the world before the eyes of the artists

characterized by shimmering sketchiness, bold brushstrokes, strong colors

man who goes out into the world specifically to analyze people

"impeccably pressed man with perfect manners who kept abreast of current events through newspapers and gossip...inconspicuousy strolling the streets observing fleeting moments of modern life"

"New Impressionism"

scientific approach, monumentality, and modern approach

i.e Seurat's pointillism

dots of primary and binary color which cause optical mixing

unifrom, vibrant, surface that was a "kind of systematized impressionism"
