I exhibited in the Salon des Artistes Indépendants ART en CAPITAL au Grand Palais, Paris, Nov 27 - Dec 2 2012. SOCIÉTÉ DES ARTISTES INDÉPENDANTS, Historical Salon of Painters. In a sphere of influence of uprising, the painters néo - impressionnistes such as Cézanne, Gauguin, Redon, Modigliani, Van Gogh .. tired of being refused by the jury of the Official Salon decide to create their own Salon in 1884. (I'd like to see more of this painterly spirit today.)
