Succès De Scandale
''Succès de scandale'' ( French for "success from scandal") is a term for any artistic work whose success is attributed, in whole or in part, to public controversy surrounding the work. In some cases the controversy causes audiences to seek out the work for its titillating content, while in others it simply heightens public curiosity. This concept is echoed by the phrase "there is no such thing as bad publicity". ''Belle Époque'' The ''Belle Époque'' ('beautiful era') in Paris, roughly from 1871 to 1914, was notable for many ''succès de scandale''. This was also where and when the term originated.
