Synopsis
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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Post-Impressionism, a revolutionary art movement that emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction to the limitations of Impressionism. The author explores the works of key figures such as CÃÂ zanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh, highlighting their departure from the Impressionist focus on capturing fleeting light and color. Instead, Post-Impressionists sought to express deeper emotions and ideas through their art, often employing bold colors, simplified forms, and distorted perspectives. The book examines the philosophical and aesthetic underpinnings of Post-Impressionism, tracing its roots to artists like Manet and exploring its impact on subsequent art movements. It delves into the movement's emphasis on personal expression and its exploration of the subjective experience of reality. The author provides insightful analysis of the techniques and styles employed by Post-Impressionist artists, demonstrating how they used color, line, and form to evoke emotions and create a sense of depth and meaning in their works. Through its exploration of the works and ideas of these groundbreaking artists, this book sheds light on a pivotal moment in art history, revealing how Post-Impressionism challenged conventional notions of representation and paved the way for the development of modern art. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
