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.

Mediterranean Fishing Village Beach Scene Oil Painting Spanish Coastal Life art
Located in Sitges, Barcelona
Spanish Mediterranean Fishing Boats Beach Scene Oil Painting Coastal Village Artist: Francisco Carbonell Massabé (1928, Spain) Title: Las Embarcadoras Día de Levante Date: c.1995 Medium: Oil on canvas Signature: Signed and titled verso Condition: Good condition Frame: Unframed Dimensions: 60 × 73 cm Original Mediterranean coastal village scene by Catalan painter Francisco Carbonell Massabé depicting fishermen and small boats along a Levantine shoreline under changing sea light conditions. The composition captures everyday maritime life through a loose impressionist brushstroke and luminous chromatic palette characteristic of late twentieth century Catalan coastal painting. Figures, boats and architecture are integrated into a balanced atmospheric structure typical of plein-air Mediterranean tradition. Scenes representing working harbors and coastal communities form a central subject within Carbonell Massabé’s production and remain especially appreciated among collectors of Spanish regional landscape painting. An excellent decorative and collectible Mediterranean maritime composition suitable for residential interiors, coastal houses and curated European landscape painting collections. Francisco Carbonell Massabé (Barcelona, 1928) trained at La Llotja and the School of Fine Arts of Barcelona. His work focuses primarily on Mediterranean landscapes, ports and urban coastal scenes rendered through impressionist brushwork and light-sensitive chromatic structure. He exhibited widely across Spain and Europe including Paris, Munich and Palma de Mallorca, developing a recognizable body of work centered on Mediterranean atmosphere and everyday maritime life. This painting belongs to the Catalan Mediterranean landscape tradition connected with: Joaquim Mir Eliseu Meifrèn Santiago Rusiñol Ramon Pichot and later twentieth-century coastal impressionist painting...

The Tree by the Lake, Värmland, By Racken Group Artist Ture Ander
Located in Stockholm, SE
This painting by Ture Ander, created in 1917, depicts a serene landscape from Värmland, Sweden. At the center of the composition is a large tree, likely a deciduous species, as suggested by the hints of autumn seen in both the tree and the meadow below it. The short brushstrokes used to depict the leaves and grass evoke a sense of movement and texture, typical of the early 20th-century artistic style. Another beautiful detail is the bluish-tinted forested mountains in the background, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. Ture Ander played a significant role in the Racken group (Rackstadkolonin), an important artistic collective in Sweden at the time. Ander was born on September 17 in Askers socken, Örebro. At the age of 13, he became an apprentice painter in Stockholm, attending evening classes at the Technical School (now known as Konstfack) while working during the day. He earned his journeyman’s certificate in 1902, and the following year, he graduated from the Technical School with the highest honors in painting. In 1905, he was accepted into the Konstnärsförbundets skola (School of the Artists' Association), where he studied alongside notable artists like Leander Engström, Isaac Grünewald, and Einar Nerman...
