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.

Brittany

Edward Francis Rook American, 1870-1960 Brittany Oil on Canvas 30 by 30 in. W/frame 38 by 38 in. Signed lower left Circa, 1898-1900 Item number: 01879 Rook, born in New York City on September 21, 1870, became one of the most original impressionists at Old Lyme. First he was a student of Benjamin Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens at the Académie Julian. Life started out to be rather promising for Rook, around the turn of the century. He exhibited at the Cincinnati Art Museum and at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, both in 1898, when his harbor scene, entitled Pearl Clouds — Moonlight was reproduced in International Studio, in April. In addition, the PAFA presented him with the Temple Gold Medal for Deserted Street, Moonlight, which the Academy purchased. Three years later, Rook was awarded a bronze medal at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, where he exhibited three landscapes. Caffin (1902, p. xxxvi) praised the artist's "translucent quality of color," which suggests a study of color theory. Also in 1901, Rook married Edith Sone. For most of 1902, the Rooks were in Mexico. Rook came to Old Lyme in October of 1903. The date is significant because Childe Hassam was also there that month. Hassam would more or less re-orient the artists' colony from Tonalism to impressionism. Rook would move there permanently two years later. He took two medals at the St. Louis Universal Exposition (1904) where his landscapes from the Mexican trip were displayed. More awards followed: a silver medal at the International Fine Arts Exposition in Buenos Aires, 1910, a gold medal at San Francisco's Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915, a Corcoran Bronze Medal, and a William A. Clark Award in 1919 for Peonies. By 1924, the artist was made a National Academician. Despite all these awards and recognition, Rook did little in the way of selling his art and reportedly, his prices were too high. His paintings were handled by Macbeth and Grand Central Art Galleries. Rook was active in Old Lyme's art community. As stated above, he would have met Hassam that October in 1903 but Willard Metcalf had departed at the end of the summer. As several writers have explained (Connecticut and American Impressionism, 1980, p. 123), Hassam "was the catalyst around whom [impressionism] coalesced." Rook's niece, Virginia Rook Garver, who happened to be the grand-niece of Hassam, confirmed that Rook and Hassam knew each other in Europe — before they went to Old Lyme (Fischer, 1987, p. 19). Rook was one of the relatively young painters to come to Old Lyme, along with Gifford Beal, William Chadwick, and Robert Nisbet, on the wave of impressionism, initiated there by Hassam and Metcalf. Old Lyme became a center of American impressionism, and as Donelson F. Hoopes remarked, "under Hassam, the shoreline of Connecticut became a kind of Giverny of America." Among Ranger's group, palettes started to become lighter, except those of the most determined tonalists. Ranger himself, perhaps admitting defeat, moved to Noank in 1904. Rook is best known for his views of Bradbury's Mill, which was soon called Rook's Mill, owing to the painter's many versions of the scene. One, called Swirling Waters, dated ca. 1917, is in the Lyme Historical Society. Even more famous is Rook's Laurel, dated between 1905 and 1910 (Florence Griswold Museum), in which a profuse laurel bush (the state flower), is set off by a spectacular Constable-like background. But Swirling Waters could never be confused with Constable, with its violent brushwork, impasto-layered water, and bright, almost chalky, plein-air palette. Gerdts (1984, p. 226) compares the paintings of Walter...

Vibrant colour and clear definition with slight surface wear consistent with age. Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate. Description: A radiant and expressive market scene from Menton, on France’s sun-soaked Riviera, by Pierre Neveu (French, b. 1929). This mid-century watercolour bursts with colour and movement — an open-air stall brimming with fruit and flowers rendered in glowing tones of yellow, orange, and crimson. Neveu’s use of quick, confident brushstrokes and layered washes captures both the vitality of Mediterranean life and the immediacy of plein air painting. The cart’s deep green and the terracotta of the awning contrast beautifully with the sunlit street, creating a dynamic play of shadow and brightness that evokes the warmth and rhythm of a summer morning. This piece demonstrates Neveu’s ability to distil the essence of a moment — his modernist minimalism balancing structure with spontaneity. A perfect addition for collectors who love French Riviera art...
