Which painter exhibited with Auguste Rodin in a joint Paris exhibition in 1889?

Claude Monet exhibited with Auguste Rodin in a joint Paris exhibition in 1889.

The exhibition brought together sculpture by Rodin and paintings by Monet, pairing two major figures associated with modern French art. It was held at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris, a prominent commercial gallery that hosted important exhibitions during the period.

Rodin and Monet worked in different media, but both challenged academic expectations. Monet’s paintings emphasized changing light and perception, while Rodin’s sculptures often used rough surfaces, fragmentary forms, and energetic modeling. Their shared exhibition highlighted these distinct approaches rather than presenting them as the same movement.

The event is sometimes confused with later exhibitions of Impressionist painting or with Rodin’s 1900 pavilion exhibition. The 1889 collaboration was specifically a joint show by Rodin and Monet, and it helped reinforce Rodin’s growing reputation beyond official academic institutions.
