Refusé (Rejected)

Success is neither the interesting part nor the daily part of an artistic career and never has been. The struggle that an artist must lead to defend and take responsibility for his work, whether good or bad, is an interesting metaphor for the struggles of everyone on a daily basis.

The Salon des Refusés is generally known as an exhibition of works rejected by the jury of the Official Salon of Paris in 1863. The salon jury refused two-thirds of the paintings presented, including works by Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, Camille Pissaro and Johan Jongkind.

The NFT of this rejected submission to a famous platform is a tribute to all the rejected artist submissions from all the exhibitions.

A piece of the reality of an artist's life.
