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.

La Rambla Barcelona Flower Market Street Scene Spanish Post-Impressionist Oil
Located in Sitges, Barcelona
La Rambla Barcelona Flower Market Street Scene Spanish Post-Impressionist Oil Painting 1978 Artist: Joan Joseph Garí (b. 1922) Title: Rambla de les Flors, Barcelona Medium: Oil on burlap Date: 1978 Signature: Signed lower left Condition: Good condition Frame: Unframed Dimensions: 33 × 41 cm (13 × 16.15 in) DESCRIPTION Charming street scene depicting the famous flower stalls of La Rambla in Barcelona painted in 1978 by Spanish artist Joan Joseph Garí. Executed in oil on burlap, the composition captures pedestrians moving through the lively urban promenade framed by colorful floral displays and warm Mediterranean evening light. The textured surface of the burlap enhances the painterly atmosphere and reinforces the expressive brushwork typical of post-impressionist Catalan urban painting of the late twentieth century. The work reflects a documentary yet atmospheric interpretation of Barcelona’s most iconic boulevard during a period when the Rambla remained a central social and cultural meeting point of the city. Joan Joseph Garí (Granollers, 1922) was a Catalan painter associated with post-impressionist landscape and urban scene painting. Trained in Granollers and at the School of Fine Arts in Cádiz, he began exhibiting regularly from the 1950s onward in Barcelona, Terrassa, Vic, Olot and Bilbao, later presenting work internationally in Florida and Acapulco. His paintings focus primarily on Mediterranean landscapes and Catalan urban environments rendered with dense chromatic structure and expressive surface texture characteristic of late twentieth-century Spanish post-impressionist practice. ARTISTIC CONTEXT / COMPARATIVE FIELD This Barcelona street scene belongs to the long tradition of Catalan urban painting developed from the atmospheric boulevard views of Santiago Rusiñol and Ramon Casas through the structured Mediterranean modernity of Joaquim Sunyer and later continued in twentieth-century Barcelona street interpretations by Josep Amat and Francesc Serra Castellet. The lively pedestrian rhythm and floral foreground arrangements also connect with the broader European urban impressionist lineage associated with Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard and lesser-known boulevard painters working in Paris and Barcelona throughout the twentieth century. barcelona rambla painting la rambla flower market barcelona street scene painting catalan urban painting spanish post impressionist painting mediterranean street scene european boulevard painting flower market painting...
