SYNOPSIS (from the publisher):
What happened after Impressionism? What did it lead to? From Seurat's Pointillism in the 1880s to the expressive use of color by the Fauves in the early 1900s, the Post-Impressionist artists - Cezanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Munch and more - were constantly experimenting with new forms, techniques and subject matter in a varied and ambivalent reaction to Impressionism. With liberal quotations from artists, writers and critics, Bernard Denvir brings Post-Impressionism to life: the different artistic groupings, the effects of contemporary writing, music and politics, the influence of Japanese art and "primitive" sculpture, and the spread of artistic practice into printmaking.
