The post-impressionists

Plot

One of the aims of this book is to show the pervasive influence Post-Impressionists exercised on a host of other painters in the last twenty years of the nineteenth century. The author also discusses the Post-Impressionists' debt to the pioneering achievements of their elders such as Monet and Renoir. By establishing their links with the immediate past and the value of their work for the future, Post-Impressionism appears not as an isolated phenomenon but as a movement of great variety, firmly situated in the tradition of European painting.
