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.

Original Mediterranean Mallorcan House and Garden Modernist Oil Painting Spain
Located in Sitges, Barcelona
Original Mediterranean Mallorcan House and Garden Modernist Oil Painting Artist: Antoni Maria Sadurní i Albañà (1927–2014) Title: Casa Mallorquina Date: 1993 Medium: Oil on canvas Artwork dimensions: 54 × 65 cm / 21.26 × 25.59 in Framed dimensions: 84 × 95 cm / 33.07 × 37.40 in Signature: Signed lower right Frame: Framed Origin: Spain Subject: Mallorca, Mediterranean architecture and garden Provenance / Exhibition: Masters Art Galerie, Palma de Mallorca, 1993 Documentation: The painting is reproduced in the original catalogue of the artist’s 1993 exhibition at Masters Art Galerie, Palma de Mallorca. DESCRIPTION A particularly attractive Mediterranean landscape by Spanish painter Antoni Maria Sadurní i Albañà, depicting a traditional Mallorcan house surrounded by a lush flowering garden beneath an intense blue sky. Painted in 1993, the work is titled Casa Mallorquina and represents one of the subjects most closely associated with Sadurní’s mature production: the architecture, vegetation and brilliant light of the Mediterranean. The composition is built around the contrast between the luminous white walls of the house and the dense greens of the garden. Small accents of red, pink, orange and yellow animate the foreground, while the clear blue sky gives the scene an unmistakably Balearic atmosphere. Sadurní uses a confident and spontaneous brushstroke, alternating broad areas of colour with more energetic touches in the trees, flowers and vegetation. The restrained geometry of the architecture provides structure to the composition, while the garden introduces movement and texture. Of particular interest is the documented exhibition history of the painting. Casa Mallorquina was included in Antoni Sadurní’s exhibition at Masters Art Galerie in Palma de Mallorca in 1993 and is reproduced in the original exhibition catalogue, a copy of which accompanies the work and is visible in the photographs. This documented provenance adds considerable interest to an already highly decorative example of Spanish Mediterranean painting. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Antoni Maria Sadurní i Albañà (Vic, 1927–2014) was a Catalan painter best known for his landscapes and Mediterranean scenes. He studied drawing in Vic and was influenced by artists connected with the celebrated Olot landscape tradition, developing his own increasingly personal interpretation of the Spanish and Catalan landscape. In 1947 he became part of Els 8, a group of young artists and intellectuals active in Vic who contributed to the renewal of Catalan cultural life during the post-war period. Throughout his career Sadurní concentrated especially on landscapes, villages, rural architecture and Mediterranean coastal subjects. Mallorca and the Balearic Islands provided particularly suitable material for his interest in strong sunlight, white architecture and intense Mediterranean colour. His mature paintings are characterised by assured brushwork, carefully balanced compositions and an ability to simplify architecture and landscape without losing their atmosphere or sense of place. ARTISTIC INSPIRATION Sadurní’s Mediterranean landscapes belong to the broader tradition of modern Spanish painting in which the visual experience of place is transformed through colour and direct brushwork. The luminous whites, clear blues and simplified architecture of Casa Mallorquina can be related to the Mediterranean sensibility found in painters such as Joaquín Sorolla and Joaquim Mir, while its freer construction through colour recalls aspects of Raoul Dufy and the Fauvist tradition. There is also an affinity with later Spanish landscape painters such as Benjamín Palencia and Godofredo Ortega Muñoz, particularly in Sadurní’s tendency to reduce the landscape to strong compositional masses while preserving its atmosphere. Rather than describing every botanical or architectural detail, Sadurní uses colour, light and abbreviated brushstrokes to convey the sensation of a Mediterranean garden in full sunlight. PROVENANCE AND DOCUMENTATION An especially important feature of this painting is its documented exhibition history. The reverse of the work retains documentation relating to Antoni Sadurní’s exhibition at Masters Art Galerie in Palma de Mallorca, held in 1993. The painting itself is reproduced in the original exhibition catalogue under the title Casa Mallorquina, Mallorca, confirming its title, date and participation in the exhibition. The survival of this contemporary documentation gives the work an unusually strong provenance for a Spanish landscape of this period. Spanish Modern Art, Mediterranean Painting, Mallorca Painting...
