Grupo Montparnasse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grupo Montparnasse was an organization of Chilean artists who had joined the gathering of great artists in the Montparnasse Quarter of Paris, France in the early part of the 20th century. The groups first exhibition was organized by Luis Vargas Rosas in Santiago in 1923. Their "Salón de Junio" in 1925 saw a new generation of young painters join the group. Just as their comrades in Paris had, these creative men and women challenged the norms in Chilean painting, profoundly shaping a new world of art in their country.
