Post-Impressionist 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.

Barcelona Harbor Marina Scene with Boats, Mediterranean Impressionist Oil Paint

By Rafael Duran Benet

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Barcelona Marina with Reflections, Mediterranean Harbor Oil Painting Artist: Rafael Durán Benet Title: Barcelona Harbor Medium: Oil on canvas laid on board Dimensions Height: 50 cm (19.7 in) Width: 61 cm (24 in) Signature Signed lower right “R. Durán”. Frame Unframed. Condition Very good condition. Stable support and well-preserved paint surface. Origin Spain. Period Late 20th century. Atmospheric harbor view of Barcelona painted by Catalan artist Rafael Durán Benet. The composition depicts a marina filled with small boats moored along a wooden pier, their hulls and masts reflected in the calm water of the harbor. The diagonal structure of the pier leads the viewer’s eye into the scene while the vertical rhythm of the masts creates a lively pattern across the skyline. In the background, the architecture of the Barcelona waterfront appears bathed in Mediterranean light, with palm trees and pale façades dissolving softly into the atmosphere. The painting is particularly notable for its treatment of water. Loose brushwork and subtle color variations capture the shifting reflections of boats, masts and buildings, creating a dynamic surface that gives movement and depth to the scene. Durán’s palette combines cool marine blues with warm ochres and oranges, evoking the luminous coastal atmosphere characteristic of the Mediterranean. The result is a vibrant harbor scene that balances urban architecture, maritime life and shimmering reflections. Rafael Durán Benet was a Catalan painter born in Terrassa who developed much of his artistic career in Barcelona. Specializing in urban landscapes and Mediterranean coastal scenes, Durán created numerous views of Barcelona’s harbor and the Catalan coastline. His work reflects a strong impressionist influence, focusing on the capture of light, atmosphere and reflections on water. Through a fluid brushstroke and a vibrant palette, he developed a recognizable style centered on the visual poetry of Mediterranean maritime life.
