Cardon
- proper noun
- Even when art societies held shows in dealers' galleries, as was frequently the case by the late 1880s, they retained for Cardon the air of an uncommercial affair because they offered works not made to compete noisily for the attention of the crowd at the Salon but to speak softly in the refined sensory register of an elite or personal space.

Etymology
Cardon is a French family name that likely comes from the French word cardon, meaning 'cardoon', a thistle-like plant similar to an artichoke. So the name probably began as a way to call someone who grew, sold, or lived near those plants, which is why it became a family name.
