Salon Comparaisons was founded in 1954 by Andrée Bordeaux Le Pecq and Lilas-Bug surrounded by a team of painters and sculptors. Salon "Comparaison" had the goal of promoting close relationship between figurative and abstract artists, and also between french and foreign artists, chiefly Japanese.

Ambroise-Paul-Toussaint-Jules Valéry (Sète, October 30, 1871 – Paris, July 20, 1945) was a French author and Symbolist poet. ...

The organisation of the Salon "Comparaison" was the following: each member of the committee was also a group chief: he had to invite some fifteen other artists of his own trend.

Schmidt, François Baboulet, André Sablé, Braig, Jean-Pierre Alaux, Daniel du Janerand, Maurice Boitel, Henri Cadiou, Bernard Mougin, Isidor Isou, Georges Delplanque.
