Over 400 reproductions ~ including 236 in full color~brilliantly illustrate Diane Kelder's graceful account of the complex mixture of styles we call Post~Impressionism. Masterpieces cherished by generations of art~lovers are presented alongside works from private and foreign collections that have rarely, if ever, been published before; all are painstakingly reproduced with unsurpassed fidelity to the originals. The book begins with a consideration of how the aging Impressionists such as Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, and Degas coped with the changing times and their own belated success. The next chapter recalls the triumph of Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte and the Neo~Impressionists' methodical investigations into new theories of color and composition. Chapter three delves into the unfettered imaginations and exotic imagery of the Symbolist painters, particularly the ornate fantasies of Moreau and the strange visions of Redon. Chapter four chronicles the adventures of Bernard, Gauguin, and van Gogh in Pont Aven and Arles, illuminating the intensity of their impact on succeeding generations of painters. The fifth chapter surveys the lyrical work of Sérusier and his fellow Nabis, including Denis, Bonnard, Vuillard, and others. Chapter six introduces the vibrant colors and slashing brush~ strokes of Fauves such as Matisse, Derain, Dufy, and Vlaminck. In chapter seven the radical innovations of Picasso, Braque, Léger, Gris, and the less~familiar Cubists are incisively analyzed. In the final chapter, Dr. Kelder addresses the mastery of the mature Matisse, Picasso, Braque, Léger, and Bonnard, as well as the contributions of Modigliani, Chagall, and others in the School of Paris. Portfolios concluding five of the chapters explore the international impact of Post~Impressionism. Brief overviews of American Impressionism, Belgian and Italian Neo~Impressionism, Northern Symbolism, German Expressionism, and Italian Futurism are illustrated with some of the most significant examples of these styles. A bibliography for each chapter and for each major artist appears at the end of the book. Seller Inventory # 3202302
