The term "Post-Impressionist" was coined in 1910 to describe the work of the French painters of the 1880s and 1890s, principally Cezanne, Gauguin and Van Gough. In this reappraisal of both the period and the term, Belinda Thomson asks many revealing and fundamental questions to do with the attitudes and theories of both artists and public in the late nineteenth century.
Many minor as well as major artists are discussed and illustrated in this handsome and challenging book. Its refreshingly direct approach highlights the variety and originality displayed by many individuals in a period of artistic ferment.
