An audacious inspiration, Luncheon on the Grass launched the salon of the rejected. In France, called Salon des Refusés, this formed in 1863. That was the year the venerable Paris Salon rejected more the five thousand artworks.
Many of these rejects later earned the title "masterpiece". Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe (the french title) sets a perfect example. It was a shocker. The unidealized and central nude figure among clothed compatriots stunned viewers as did Manet's iconoclastic technique.
