Vauxcelles' comment was printed on 17 October 1905 in "Gil Blas", a daily newspaper, and passed into popular usage. The pictures gained considerable condemnation—"A pot of paint has been flung in the face of the public", wrote the critic Camille Mauclair (1872–1945)—but also some favorable attention. One of the paintings singled out for attack was Matisse's "Woman with a Hat". This work's purchase by Gertrude and Leo Stein had a very positive effect on Matisse, who had been demoralized from the bad reception of his work. Matisse's Neo-Impressionist landscape, "Luxe, Calme et Volupté", had already been exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in the spring of 1905. Two large retrospectives occupied adjacent rooms at the 1905 Salon d'Automne: one of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and the other Édouard Manet. Despite the reputation for the contrary, the Salon d'Automne in 1905 was rather well received by the press, including critical praise for the Ingres and Manet retrospectives. The artists exhibiting were for the most part known, even the most innovative who a few months before exhibited at the Berthe Weill Gallery. However, a few critics reacted violently, both in the daily press aimed at a wide audience; and in the specialized press, some of whom were active advocates of symbolism, and vehemently detested the rise of the new generation. The exhibition of 1906 was held from 6 October to 15 November. Jean Metzinger exhibited his Fauvist/Divisionist "Portrait of M. Robert Delaunay" (no. 1191) and Robert Delaunay exhibited his painting "L'homme à la tulipe (Portrait of M. Jean Metzinger)" (no. 420 of the catalogue). Matisse exhibited his "Liseuse", two still lifes ("Tapis rouge" and "à la statuette"), flowers and a landscape (no. 1171-1175) Robert Antoine Pinchon showed his "Prairies inondées (Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, près de Rouen)" (no. 1367), now at the . Pinchon's paintings of this period are closely related to the Post-Impressionist and Fauvist styles, with golden yellows, incandescent blues, a thick impasto and larger brushstrokes.
