1855
Courbet mounted his own exhibition near the Paris Universal Exhibition after the official selection rejected The Painter’s Studio. The pavilion brought together around forty paintings and four drawings, giving him control over the presentation of his work. Its catalogue introduced his statement on Realism, linking the independent exhibition to a public declaration of artistic purpose.
