The Secret Salon

The late 19th century was marked by Historicism, Academicism, and the rise of Symbolism. While traditional art dominated, LGBT artists found freedom in secret salons to explore their sexuality and art. These gatherings offered intimacy and sensuality, inspiring art and paving the way for modernism.
