Post-Impressionist Figurative Paintings

POSTIMPRESSIONIST STYLE

In the revolutionary wake of Impressionism, artists like Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne and Paul Gauguin advanced the style further while firmly rejecting its limitations. Although the artists now associated with Postimpressionist art did not work as part of a group, they collectively employed an approach to expressing moments in time that was even more abstract than that of the Impressionists, and they shared an interest in moving away from naturalistic depictions to more subjective uses of vivid colors and light in their paintings.

The eighth and final Impressionist exhibition was held in Paris in 1886, and Postimpressionism — also spelled Post-Impressionism — is usually dated between then and 1905. The term “Postimpressionism” was coined by British curator and art critic Roger Fry in 1910 at the “Manet and the Postimpressionists” exhibition in London that connected their practices to the pioneering modernist art of Édouard Manet. Many Postimpressionist artists — most of whom lived in France — utilized thickly applied, vibrant pigments that emphasized the brushstrokes on the canvas.

The Postimpressionist movement’s iconic works of art include van Gogh’s The Starry Night (1889) and Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (1884). Seurat’s approach reflected the experimental spirit of Postimpressionism, as he used Pointillist dots of color that were mixed by the eye of the viewer rather than the hand of the artist. Van Gogh, meanwhile, often based his paintings on observation, yet instilled them with an emotional and personal perspective in which colors and forms did not mirror reality. Alongside Mary Cassatt, Cézanne, Henri Matisse and Gauguin, the Dutch painter was a pupil of Camille Pissarro, the groundbreaking Impressionist artist who boldly organized the first independent painting exhibitions in late-19th-century Paris.

The boundary-expanding work of the Postimpressionist painters, which focused on real-life subject matter and featured a prioritization of geometric forms, would inspire the Nabis, German Expressionism, Cubism and other modern art movements to continue to explore abstraction and challenge expectations for art.

Shepherd in the Pyrenees Spain oil on canvas painting spanish landscape Europe
By Enric Porta Mestre
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Shepherd in the Pyrenees Artist: Enric Porta i Mestre (1898–1993) Technique: Oil on canvas Style: Post-Impressionism with Expressionist influences Dimensions: Unframed: 23.6 x 31.9 in Framed: 29.9 x 38.2 in Signature: Signed in the lower right corner as "E. Porta". Date: 1956 (according to the inscription on the back). DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK Shepherd in the Pyrenees by Enric Porta i Mestre depicts a rural scene with a striking sense of introspection and evocative charm. The painting portrays a shepherd tending to his flock amidst the mountainous landscape typical of the Catalan Pyrenees. The composition captures the serenity and beauty of nature through vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes. The work reflects a Post-Impressionist style with loose, bold strokes and vivid tones, combined with Expressionist influences in its ability to evoke emotions beyond the physical depiction. The energetic and textured brushwork infuses the painting with a lively rhythm, while the rich palette of greens and blues immerses the viewer in the landscape's tranquil atmosphere. In this piece, Porta i Mestre showcases a mastery of color and light, illustrating his deep connection to his homeland and its rural life, which served as a source of inspiration throughout his career. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Enric Porta i Mestre (La Pobla de Segur, 1898–1993) was a Catalan painter known for his landscapes, still lifes, and costumbrist depictions. Trained in Lleida and Barcelona, Porta debuted in 1922 with an exhibition in the Catalan capital.

Rowboat Beneath the Trees, 1918
Located in Stockholm, SE
This evocative landscape by Axel Edvard Peter captures the serene beauty of nature with remarkable skill. Painted in 1918, the scene depicts a wooden rowboat resting in still waters beneath the sheltering branches of a lush tree. The dappled sunlight filtering through the foliage creates a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, while the artist’s use of short, expressive brushstrokes imbues the composition with a vibrant, almost impressionistic quality. The rich greens and golden hues of the landscape reflect Peter’s mastery of color and atmosphere. Axel Peter was a Swedish painter known for his distinctive artistic voice, shaped by his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and further training in Paris and Germany. He was part of the influential Opponents’ Movement (Opponentrörelsen) of 1885, alongside artists such as Richard Bergh, Nils Kreuger, and Eugène Jansson...

Ibiza market Spain oil on canvas painting mediterranean european art
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Ibiza Market Artist: Ignacio Gil Sala (Barcelona, 1913 – 2003) Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 60 x 73 cm (23.6 x 28.7 in) Support: Unframed canvas Signature: Signed in the lower left corner Period: Mid-20th century Condition: Very good. Original stretcher, canvas not relined. Inscriptions and stamp on the reverse. Provenance: Private collection DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK In Ibiza Market, Ignacio Gil Sala transports us to a traditional Mediterranean island scene, likely set in the 1950s or 60s. Women with brightly colored scarves, children, fruit, and woven baskets fill a lively open space under improvised awnings, where sunlight filters through with vibrant intensity. The artist skillfully and emotively captures the bustle of market day, using a rich palette of earth tones, blues, and yellows applied with loose, impasto brushstrokes that convey both motion and warmth. His focus on the human and the everyday reveals Gil Sala’s poetic interest in documenting the essence of popular life. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Ignacio Gil Sala (Barcelona, 1913 – 2003) was a prominent Spanish Post-Impressionist painter, celebrated for his treatment of Mediterranean light and his sensitivity in portraying genre scenes. Trained at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, he was awarded the Silver Medal in 1930 and received a grant in 1936 to travel throughout Spain, supported by the sculptor Mariano Benlliure. His work includes landscapes, seascapes, portraits, and urban scenes, all depicted with a lively, honest, and direct gaze. His compositions exhibit strong draftsmanship and a free brushstroke, echoing the legacy of the Valencian luminist school. Ibiza was one of his recurring sources of inspiration, as this painting attests. He received numerous awards, including: Silver Medal from the School of Fine Arts (1930) First Medal at the International Exhibition of Palma de Mallorca (1941) Prizes at the African Painters...
