The Salon des Refusés 2024 exhibit features artists who received a rejection letter for The Brooklyn Museum‘s Artists Exhibition.
The original Salon des Refusés took place in 1863 when the Paris Salon held its annual exhibition of academic arts. Thousands of artists applied but were rejected and were unable to display their work in the official Salon exhibition. It was determined that their work did not fulfill academic standards of the time. Emperor Napoleon III, who wanted the public to make the decision, organized a simultaneous exhibition of all the rejects in the Palace of Industry. This exhibition included artists such as Manet, Cezanne, Pissarro and Whistler. The exhibition of “rejects” became famously known as the Salon des Refusés 1863.

Color Recall
St. Joseph’s University Gallery, Brooklyn, NY
March 9 to April 23, 2022
Color has been an integral part of Sandra Giunta’s coral art and a characteristic of healthy living corals. The science behind the color of corals is derived from the symbiotic relationship of algae and coral polyps. Algae live in the corals providing oxygen and removing wastes, and corals provide the algae with carbon dioxide and a protective home. Coral polyps are transparent and algae is their color source.
Because of the stress of climate change due to the increase in water temperatures and pollution, the corals are forcing the algae out and consequently losing their food source and their colors, a process called bleaching. Sandra has been working on a new series of corals and coral related designs, focusing on the muting and bleaching of color, to highlight the impact of global warming on the health of the world’s coral reefs.

Work Created During the Lockdown
Williamsburg Art and Historical Center, Brooklyn, NY
Nov. 7, 2020 to January 27, 2021
We are experiencing a dark period in our lives, first with the deadly coronavirus pandemic followed by another horrifying social pandemic, both of which have spread all over the USA and worldwide like a Tsunami, and nothing seems to help lift our spirits in hope for humanity. This show is about the works created by artists only during the pandemic period so that we can find where their minds and hearts were and how they expressed it in their works. — Yuko Nii
Many artists were delighted to have the unexpected long “Stay-In” period so that they could concentrate on their works in isolation, which they couldn’t have done at any other time…but some have lost their moorings and in watching the crisis unfold in the media lost hope for a better future. Some artists felt that this was a turning point for them to rethink their art-making process, and they have started to pursue new directions in different themes and mediums. This show is about the works created by artists only during the pandemic period so that we can find where their minds and hearts were and how they expressed it in their works.
