Which artist jointly exhibited with Claude Monet in a major 1889 Paris gallery show?

Auguste Rodin jointly exhibited with Claude Monet in a major 1889 Paris gallery show.

The exhibition took place at the Galerie Georges Petit and presented works by Monet alongside sculptures by Rodin. It was a significant event because both artists were by then recognized as leading figures in modern French art, even though they worked in different media.

Monet contributed paintings representing his developing interest in repeated views, landscape atmosphere, and changing light. Rodin contributed sculpture, whose expressive modeling and unconventional surfaces challenged academic expectations in a comparable way.

The pairing is sometimes overlooked because Monet is most often discussed through the Impressionist exhibitions of the 1870s and 1880s. The 1889 show, however, helped establish the two artists as major independent figures. It also demonstrated how commercial galleries increasingly shaped the presentation and sale of avant-garde art in late nineteenth-century Paris.
