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.

Book Description
In 1910 the critic Roger Fry organized an exhibition at the Grafton Galleries, London, of avant-garde painting which included works by Cezanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin and Matisse. This exhibition became as important a landmark in the official histories of modern art as the subsequent Armory Show in America. These artists did not belong to a single unified movement defined or recognized at the time, and Fry, in a quandary as to what to call the exhibition, and losing patience at the last minute, said, "Oh, let's just call them Post-Impressionists; at any rate, they came after the Impressionists". In this way one of the important critical categories, one of the "isms" of modern art, was born. But "Post-Impressionism" was not a name which Van Gogh, Gauguin, Seurat or Cezanne or any artists of the period would have applied to themselves. The documents in this book, many of which appear in English for the first time, show how artists and critics in the aftermath of Impressionism did describe themselves: how they responded to tradition, to each other and to the kaleidoscope of the contemporary scene. This was a period of reconsideration, of moving on from aspects of Impressionism, and of coming to grips with the isolation that avant-garde art had imposed on the individual artist. It was a period in which the emphasis within Impressionism on the construction of painting purely by means of color had left artists with the question of how the power of this basic form related to their own feelings and to nature. New ideas were coming from poetry as well as painting that laid the basis for modernism. These issues and the personal struggles of the artists themselves are revealed in their letters, and inthe writings of friends and critics, many of whom, such as Mallarme, Laforgue, Huysmans, and Proust were novelists and poets. This book also includes commentaries from Rainer Maria Rilke, Virginia Woolf, and W. H. Auden as well as modern critics, artists, philosophers and art historians: Georges Bataille, Paul Klee, and Meyer Schapiro on Van Gogh; John Berger on Bonnard; Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Clement Greenberg, Adrian Stokes and Lawrence Gowing on Cezanne. The text is illustrated with 119 colorplates and 125 black and white reproductions of contemporary photographs, cartoons, documents, prints and drawings.

Book Description
Whilst Impressionism marked the first steps toward modern painting by revolutionising an artistic medium stifled by academic conventions, Post-Impressionism, even more revolutionary, completely liberated colour and opened it to new, unknown horizons. Anchored in his epoch, relying on the new chromatic studies of Michel Eugène Chevreul, Georges Seurat transcribed the chemist’s theory of colours into tiny points that created an entire image. With his heavy strokes, Van Gogh illustrated the midday sun, whilst Cézanne renounced perspective. Rich in its variety and in the singularity of its artists, Post-Impressionism was a passage taken by all the well-known figures of 20th century painting - it is here presented, for the great pleasure of the reader, by Nathalia Brodskaïa.

Book Description
Impressionism is the most famous artistic movement. But what appears today as a charming and exquisite landscape painting, was actually one of the first avant-garde movements whose members had decided to fight the values of traditional art. The impressionist outdoor paintings shocked the public by the technique used, but also by their apparent banality. As Monet, Sisley, Pissarro and many others sought to capture the ephemeral nature of light, the next generation would reject naturalism. Indeed, post-impressionists such as Gauguin, Van Gogh, Cézanne and Seurat favored the subjective rather than the objective and the eternal rather than the concrete. In doing so, they laid the formal foundations of 20th-century modern art. This book is a visual guide through the crucial moments in the history of art and the progression of the 19th-century to modernity.

Book Description
Julie Manet, the niece of Edouard Manet and the daughter of the most famous female Impressionist artist, Berthe Morisot, was born in Paris on 14 November 1878 into a wealthy and cultured milieu at the height of the Impressionist era. Many young girls still confide their inner thoughts to diaries and it is hardly surprising that, with her mother giving all her encouragement, Julie would prove to be no exception to the rule. At the age of ten, Julie began writing her `memoirs' but it wasn't until August 1893, at fourteen, that Julie began her diary in earnest: no neat leather-bound volume with lock and key but just untidy notes scribbled in old exercise books, often in pencil, the presentation as spontaneous as its contents. Her extraordinary diary - newly translated here by an expert on Impressionism - reveals a vivid depiction of a vital period in France's cultural history seen through the youthful and precocious eyes of the youngest member of what was surely the most prominent artistic family of the time.

Book Description
The essays in this wide-ranging, beautifully illustrated volume capture the theoretical range and scholarly rigor of recent criticism that has fundamentally transformed the study of French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. Readers are invited to consider the profound issues and penetrating questions that lie beneath this perennially popular body of work as the contributors examine the art world of late nineteenth-century France—including detailed looks at Monet, Manet, Pissarro, Degas, Cézanne, Morisot, Seurat, Van Gogh, and Gauguin. The authors offer fascinating new perspectives, placing the artworks from this period in wider social and historical contexts. They explore these painters' pictorial and market strategies, the critical reception and modern criteria the paintings engendered, and the movement's historic role in the formation of an avant-garde tradition. Their research reflects the wealth of new documents, critical approaches, and scholarly exhibitions that have fundamentally altered our understanding of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. These essays, several of which have previously been familiar only to scholars, provide instructive models of in-depth critical analysis and of the competing art historical methods that have crucially reshaped the field.
