TheGrupo Montparnasse was an organization ofChilean artists who had joined the gathering of great artists in theMontparnasse Quarter ofParis,France, in the early part of the 20th century. Founding members,Luis Vargas Rosas andCamilo Mori among others, exhibit in the Salon d'Automne of 1920 in Paris where they meetJuan Gris,Pablo Picasso and other artists experimenting in the new trends of the time like cubism and expressionism. The group's first exhibition was organized byLuis Vargas Rosas inSantiago in 1923. Their first exhibition was marked by postimpressionist influences, notably the works ofPaul Cézanne. 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.
