Group members and adherents
Their first exhibition was marked by postimpressionist influences, notably the works of Paul 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. • Illustration — Several members of the Grupo Montparnasse (1945), including José Perotti, Henriette Petit, Luis Vargas Rosas and Juan Emar
