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.

Still Life with Vegetables and Apples, Oil Painting, signed Jos. Vanmaekelberghe
Located in Genève, GE
Jos. Vanmaekelberghe – Still Life with Vegetables and Apples, Oil Painting, signed Jos. Vanmaekelberghe and dated 1931 Dimensions with frame : 58.5 x 79 x 3 cm A richly painted and atmospheric still life, signed Jos. Vanmaekelberghe and dated 1931, depicting an abundant arrangement of vegetables and fruit spilling from a rustic wicker basket onto a white cloth. The composition brings together a variety of carefully observed elements, including a large pale green cabbage, a dark purple cabbage, leeks, red apples and other seasonal produce. The overturned basket, positioned diagonally in the upper part of the composition, introduces movement and depth, while the scattered fruit and vegetables create a natural and harmonious arrangement. The artist demonstrates a confident and expressive handling of oil paint, combining broad, visible brushstrokes with more delicate touches of colour and light. Particularly striking is the contrast between the luminous folds of the white fabric and the rich, subdued tones of the surrounding objects. Deep burgundy, violet, dark green and earthy brown tones are enlivened by touches of soft pink, pale blue and warm red. The subtle reflections on the apples and the carefully modelled surfaces of the vegetables give the composition a convincing sense of volume and texture. The painting belongs to the European still-life tradition, interpreted through an expressive early 20th-century approach. Its painterly technique and strong tonal contrasts suggest influences from Post-Impressionism, while retaining the carefully balanced composition associated with traditional still-life painting. Signed and dated 1931 in the lower right corner, the work is presented in a decorative gilt wooden frame that complements its warm colour palette. An attractive example of interwar European still-life painting, combining a timeless subject with a lively and individual artistic interpretation.
