大都会巴黎的文化盛事迅速引起报刊媒体的强烈关注。十八世纪中期正值报刊业迅猛发展的时期,报刊对各类新兴事物极为热衷。对沙龙展的报道开始只是消息通讯,后来渐渐有了分析和评论,如《法兰西信使》(Mercure de France)上专门开辟的介绍参展作品的栏目。除此之外,记者、文人、批评家们开始热衷于画室和创作的故事,自行写作一些小册子。越来越多的刊物文章和评论成为官方手册的补充,其中很多是匿名和非正式出版的,在巴黎的街道、咖啡馆和画廊销售。拉丰·德·圣-耶纳(La Font de Saint-Yenne)对一七四六年沙龙所做的评论可谓一个重要转折,它预示了一种新文体的兴起。拉丰·德·圣-耶纳将他的文章结集出版,题为《反思法国绘画当前状态的成因》,检视了一七四六年沙龙展的主要作品,指出了当时艺术实践尤其是绘画中的某种没落趋势:无论肖像画还是风俗画,都见证了一种洛可可式的“小趣味”的盛行,对奢侈与浮华的迷恋,它取代了学院规范所倡导的寓意性或文学性的宏大风格,如表现希腊罗马历史或崇高道德主题的绘画。
这位非专业人士提出的公开批评令自视权威的学院艺术家们感到被冒犯。尽管拉丰·德·圣–耶纳宣称上述观点并非他的个人判断,而是收集了公众的判断,且公众判断在总体上具有最大程度的一致性和公正性,他的论点还是引起了学院艺术家的激烈反驳。查尔斯·安东尼·夸佩(Charles Antoine Coypel)讥讽拉丰·德·圣–耶纳借公众的名义,将自己的错误判断视为至高无上,当被固定在某个地方的绘画已经为公众所遗忘时,不公正的斥责却随着小册子的印刷四处远扬;夏尔–尼古拉·科尚(Charles-Nicolas Cochin)指责拉丰·德·圣–耶纳用负面意见哗众取宠,这一做法会毁掉公共展览。除此之外,画家们还使用了一种十分独特而刻薄的方式反击批评家——他们绘制了一系列拉丰·德·圣–耶纳的讽刺漫画,如弗朗索瓦·布歇的《被嫉妒者、蠢人和酒鬼所嘲弄的绘画》、夏尔–尼古拉·科尚的《沙龙里的一位批评家》,甚至直接以拉丰·德·圣–耶纳为名的丑化肖像。
