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.

Menton French Riviera Market Scene Mid Century Watercolour by Pierre Neveu
By Pierre Neveu
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Title: Menton French Riviera Market Scene Mid Century Watercolour by Pierre Neveu Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed Size (H x W): 6.25 x 8.75 inches Inscribed lower right “Menton” Condition: Good overall. 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...
