Post-Impressionist Art

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.

Provence Lavender Fields Rolling Hills and Cypress Trees French Landscape

Provence Lavender Fields Rolling Hills and Cypress Trees French Landscape

By Pierre Neveu

Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire

Title: Provence Lavender Fields Rolling Hills and Cypress Trees French Landscape Watercolor Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed Size (H x W): 6 x 8.5 inches Inscribed lower right (location note, likely vent provence / vent provençal) Condition: Good overall, with light handling marks and minor natural toning 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: This luminous landscape watercolor by French Post-Impressionist painter Pierre Neveu captures the distinctive rolling farmland and lavender fields of Provence, a region whose dramatic light and rhythmic terrain have inspired generations of artists. Neveu’s handwritten inscription at the lower edge—most likely referencing Vent Provençal or a similar location notation—reinforces the strong connection to the Southern French landscape. His expressive use of colour and confident draughtsmanship bring movement and immediacy to this sweeping rural view. The composition opens with wide bands of lavender and tilled earth in the foreground, painted in atmospheric strokes of violet, ochre, and cool blue-grey. These textured rows lead the viewer’s eye toward rising hills dotted with cypress trees, olive groves, and clustered farm buildings—hallmarks of the Provençal countryside. In the distance, a hazy blue horizon suggests either the Mediterranean coastline or the far-off ridges of the Luberon or Alpilles. Neveu’s characteristic combination of loose, fluid washes and precise, architectural linework reveals his training at the École Boulle and the École des Beaux-Arts. His handling of light is especially notable here: warm golden sunlight sweeps across the hillside, while cooler shadows create contrast and depth within the lavender rows. The work feels both spontaneous and carefully structured, capturing a moment of wind, warmth, and movement in the southern landscape. This is an ideal piece for collectors of French landscapes, Provençal scenes, lavender field paintings...

In 1922 he participated in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. In 1925 he participated in the first exhibition of the Iberian Artists Society. The limited success of this exhibition pushes him to go to Paris. In this city he shared a studio with the Spanish painter Pancho Cossío and also met Picasso and Juan Gris. In 1927 he held his first solo exhibition in Paris. From this moment on, Bores integrates himself into the Parisian artistic environment where he will live practically his entire life.
