Paintings with contemporary settings were rejected, as judges had strong ideas about recreating history. A painting that included some nudity was entered in a contest, and rejected. Nudity in paintings was normally accepted owing to the talent put in, but that particular painting (The Luncheon on the Grass) by the artist Édouard Manet - which depicted a nude woman with two clothed men at a picnic - was rejected due to the contemporary background. Many sympathized with Manet at the judge's sharp rejection of his painting, and another unusual majority of paintings set off rebellion among several French artists. Manet was admired by the first four impressionists, Monet, Renoir, Sisley and Bazille. It was later decreed by the Emperor Napolean III that the public should be allowed to judge the work themselves, organizing a Salon des Refusés (Salon of the refused). This new salon attracted more visitors than the original, though most were just there for a laugh. This helped boost the rebellious spirits of the four considered the "purest 'impressionists'" -- Monet, Sisley, Bazille and Pissarro.

What was popular before cubism?

Before Cubism, artistic movements such as Impressionism and Post-Impressionism were popular. Impressionism, characterized by its focus on light, color, and capturing fleeting moments, emphasized the artist's perception of a scene. Post-Impressionism built on these ideas but introduced more structure and emotional depth, with artists like Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne exploring abstract forms and personal expression. These movements laid the groundwork for the radical departure that Cubism represented in the early 20th century.
