	Salon \| A tale of two cities
		In 1900 relations between men and women stood at a critical juncture, as the first assault on patriarchal society was mounted.
		Awaiting visitors at the entrance to "1900" is a 6-foot panel carrying the curators' triple-negative welcome: This is neither an evocation of the Belle Epoque's splendor and misery, nor a commemoration of the Exposition Universelle, nor an homage to Art Nouveau.
		Nowhere are there evocations of Paris, however, of daily life in 1900, of the intellectual ferment in salons and cafes, of the world's fair, of the Palais de l'Electricité or the artists' colonies of Montmartre and Montparnasse.

	Exposition Universelle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		1900 begins with a selection of works from the Exposition Décennale, an international exhibition of art created between 1889-1900, that was held as part of the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle (World's Fair).
		This endeavor was mirrored in other portions of the Exposition Universelle, where countries highlighted their accomplishments in fields such as industry and technology, each participant vying for supremacy in an era defined by burgeoning nationalism and colonial expansionism.
		After this introduction, which provides a look at a selection of the art considered significant at the turn of the century, 1900 is organized thematically to demonstrate the distinctive treatments that artists of differing schools and nationalities brought to similar subject matter.

	CULMINATION
		She had showed the world that Paris was the queen city of expositions; that French engineering genius was second to none; and that, even without the official participation of other nations, the allurements and advantages of a world's fair in Paris were so great that few established or aspiring manufacturers could afford to stay away.
		And the exposition planning committees themselves came to feel more and more that the primary standard for success was the bottom line of the ledger book when the expositions closed their gates.
		The buildings of the 1900 exposition fall into two distinct categories, each representing an essential element of the Weltgeist of 1900: Traditionalist buildings that adhered to historically validated architectural values; and Art Nouveau structures that were trying to forge a new vocabulary of style appropriate to the twentieth century.

	Art in America: 1900 Rediscovered - art exhibition
		"1900" boldly pulls the rug on that conventional approach, releasing salon warhorses, lesser-known gems and outre oddities that both broaden our understanding of the dawn of modernism and expand the heritage of many contemporary ideas and strategies.
		Kicking off with a core group of works that were exhibited in the Exposition Decennale, the international art show at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle or World's Fair, the curators present a raucous mix of styles and approaches that proves that the turn of the 20th century was every bit as pluralistic as today.
		Although "1900" is credited to four curators, it is hard not to view the exhibition as the fulfillment of Robert Rosenblum's brilliant work to date on the 19th century.

		Its first public exhibition was at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in January 1900, after which it joined two other Sargent works in the Paris Exposition of 1900.
		That Thomas herself was immensely pleased with Sargent's rendering was no doubt reinforced by Sargent's receiving the Grand Prix at the Paris Exposition of 1900 for the portrait and two other paintings.
		Sargent himself told me that he thought it one of the very best things he had done recently and on account of the pains he took with it I am anxious that he should be satisfied." Thomas herself won a medal at the Exposition for her monograph, The Education of Women.

		The Exposition Universelle et Internationale de Paris of 1900 - the largest international cultural event in terms of attendance until the New York World's Fair of 1964 - was the perfect vehicle for Americans to promote all the richness of a vibrant American culture.
		At the 1900 Parisian fair, the McKinley administration's crusade involved installing paintings which exuded "American character", such as images of virile men, wholesome women, pristine landscapes and technologically supreme cities.
		This book examines how the 1900 exposition functioned as a bridge to the 20th century, creating the conditions for the emergence of American urban realism and modernism, as well as for New York to eventually displace Paris as the centre of the art world.

	Korea at the World's Fairs of 1893 and 1900
		The Paris Universal Exposition took place in the spring and summer of 1900, and brought together almost a hundred nations and then colonial possessions in a series of exhibitions highlighting national achievements in the realms of science, the arts, and, for the major powers, imperial richesse.
		One prominent visitor to the Korean pavilion was Maurice Courant (1865-1935), well-known as the father of Korean studies in France (the influx of Korean books from the Collin de Plancy collection for the Korean exhibit actually impelled the writing of an extra volume for Maurice Courant's Bibliographie Coréenne).
		Courant remarks on the isolated location of the Korean pavilion, comparing it with Korea's traditional sobriquet of "Hermit Nation", a name that persisted even in 1900, almost a quarter century after Korea's opening.
