Publishers Description: Not a cohesive art movement per se but an extraordinarily creative era in French art, Post-Impressionism transformed the way that the late-19th and early-20th-century public viewed art, and paved the way for modernism. Seen in 112 color reproductions, here are both masterpieces and little-known works by Van Gogh, Czanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, Gauguin, and Bonnard. Here too are works by their contemporaries Claude Monet, George Seurat, Maurice Denis, Gustave Moreau, Odilon Redon, and Edouard Vuillard, representing a wealth of divergent views on the nature of art. Each of the paintings is discussed in a short article, while the text traces the rapid evolution of European painting during the fin-de-si¨cle.
