Book Description
Excerpt from Manet and the Post-Impressionists: Nov. 8th to Jan. 15th, 1910-11, 10 A. M. To 6 P. M The pictures collected together in the present Exhibi tion are the work of a group of artists who cannot be defined by any single term. The term Synthesists, which has been applied to them by learned criti cism, does indeed express a quality underlying their diversity; and it is the principal business of this introduction to expand the meaning of that word, which sounds too like the hiss of an angry gander to be a happy appellation. As a definition it has the drawback that this quality, common to all, is not always the one most impressive in each artist. In no school does individual temperament count for more. In fact, it is the boast of those who believe in this school, that its methods enable the individuality of the artist to find completer self-expression in his work than is possible to those who have committed themselves to representing objects more literally. This, indeed, is the first source of their quarrel with the Impressionists the post-impressionists consider the Impressionists too naturalistic. Yet their own connection with Impressionism is extremely close; Cezanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh all learnt in the Impressionist school. There are pictures on the walls by these three artists, painted in their earlier years, which at first strike the eye as being more impressionist than anything else; but, nevertheless, the connection of these artists with the Impressionists is accidental rather than intrinsic.
