International Artists Promotion Group

The atelier of Jean-François Millet and the Association of Art Puissance 7 Events, in partnership with the town of Barbizon, organized the First International Exhibition “Impressions” 2016 (le Salon de l’Estampe à Barbizon). This salon aspires to become an annual event for lovers of the prints technique, having experienced moments of glory in the small village of Barbizon. In this first salon will be exhibited works by 34 contemporary artists, as well as 12 prints of the XIX century Barbizon School.

There are places, remaining in memory for a long time, that are more accessible than others for the purposes of inspiration or emotion. These are the places that attracted the attention of artists for their charm and scenic beauty. Barbizon is one of those places, located on the edge of the plain of Chailly and Fontainebfeau forest. The Barbizon School – Corot, Rousseau, Diaz, Millet, Daubigny – turned into a great art movement of the XIX century and became a premise of impressionism.
Today, Barbizon is known for its galleries and museums, but it lacks the big annual exhibition that would present the works of old and new masters in symbiosis with the spirit of Barbizon. The uniqueness of the new salon is that the exposition presents the art of engraving, which has often been the both vector to the understanding of artwork, and also, above all, an art technique that is maximally saturated with direct emotions.
We hope that the emergence of New Salon will attain the highest of our aspirations. This Salon is also the result of partnership, and we warmly thank the various stakeholders: Philippe Douce, mayor of Barbizon, for the organization of this event; Daniel Moret and his studio, for workshops for their partnership; the gallery of Angelus, for the presentation of original prints of the Barbizon school; and the municipality of Barbizon for its help.
We especially thank the artists who showed interest and agreed to participate in this first exhibition of the New Salon.
