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.

The Tree by the Lake, Värmland, By Racken Group Artist Ture Ander
By 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...

Emilio Grau Sala Deauville Sunset, 1972 Paris School Fauvist Coastal Landscape
Located in Sitges, Barcelona
Emilio Grau Sala (1911–1975) Deauville Sunset, 1972 Oil on canvas 60 × 73 cm (23.62 × 28.74 in) Frame: 73 × 86 cm (28.74 × 33.86 in) A luminous and atmospheric coastal scene painted in 1972 during the artist’s mature Paris period. This refined Normandy composition captures the delicate light of Deauville at sunset. Subtle tonal transitions, elegant brushwork and shimmering reflections across wet sand create a serene yet sophisticated atmosphere characteristic of Grau Sala’s late style. After settling in Paris in 1936, Grau Sala became associated with the School of Paris, developing a distinctive figurative language influenced by Impressionism and Fauvism while maintaining his own balance of harmony and chromatic restraint. His French coastal works from this mature period are among the most sought-after examples of his oeuvre. Signed and dated. Frame included. Excellent overall condition. A refined mid-20th-century School of Paris coastal painting, ideal for collectors and elevated interior environments. Son of cartoonist Juan Grau Miró, he was born in Barcelona in 1911. Although he attended the School of Fine Arts, his training is considered largely self-taught. His first exhibition takes place in 1930, at the "Badriñas Gallery" in the same city. At the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War (1936), Grau Sala left Spain with his wife, also a painter Ángeles Santos...
