Here's the blurb on the salon:
Salon des Refusés - An art exhibition held in Paris in 1863, set up by the government at the urging of the artists involved, as an exhibition of paintings that had been refused by the official annual Salon of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. The show's major sensations were two paintings by Edouard Manet (French, 1832-1883), each considered scandalous-- Déjeuner sur l'herbe, for portraying nude and clothed figures together in a scene of everyday life, and Olympia, for portraying a nude prostitute, whose form was not
typical of those considered ideal. Other exhibitors were Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926), Camille Pissarro (French, 1830-1903), and James A. M. Whistler (American, 1834-1903). Also see salon.

(Exhibit of Refused Paintings of 1863)


Explanation:
Although I agree that the name of the exhibition should be kept French, you should provide an English translation in parenthesis to give a clue to the clueless, and the laymen.

Picky footnote:


Explanation:
The issue with the Dejeuner wasn't that the leading lady was nude, but that the painting (the lower left-hand corner, if memory serves) was left unfinished. It was the bare (or merely primed) canvas, out there naked in front of God and the critics, that was the cause of the scandal.

(Thank you. I feel better now...!)
