Description
The Salon Réalités Nouvelles is run by the artists themselves, united in an association in 1901. The Salon has been held every year since 1946 in Paris. Its objective is to promote works of art "commonly called concrete art, non-figurative art or abstract art". The Salon was founded in 1946 by the artists Sonia Delaunay, Auguste Herbin, Jean Arp, Jean Gorin, Pevsner... as a continuation of the association "Abstraction-Création" (1931). The expression "Réalités Nouvelles" is said to have originated from the pen of the poet Guillaume Apollinaire in 1912 to designate abstraction as the form best expressing Modern Reality.
