Annual unjuried exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants, held in Paris since 1884.
Organized as a second Salon des Refusés , it was established in response to the rigid traditionalism of the official government-sponsored Salon . Its first show exhibited works by Paul Cézanne , Paul Gauguin , Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec , Vincent van Gogh , and Georges Seurat . By 1905 Henri Rousseau , Pierre Bonnard , Henri Matisse , and the Fauves had all exhibited there.
