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.

“Sunset Topeka, Kansas”
“Sunset Topeka, Kansas”

“Sunset Topeka, Kansas”

Located in Southampton, NY

Very well executed oil on masonite painting of a sunset in Topeka, Kansas by the American artist, Pauline Haynes Shirer. Signed lower right. Circa 1950. Condition is excellent. Recently professionally cleaned. Newly framed in a custom gallery frame. Overall framed measurements are 17.5 by 20.5 inches. Provenance: A Long Island, New York collector. Pauline Haynes Shirer (1894 - 1975), American Born in Topeka in 1894, Pauline is said to have been at least partially raised by her aunt, Hannah Haynes Headlee (Pauline’s mother died when she was 8 years old). By 16, she was living as a ward in the Topeka home of Elizabeth Cunningham, a dressmaker. After graduating from Topeka High School, she attended the New York School of Fine and Applied Art (later Parsons School of Design), completing a two-year course in one year (1913-1914). At the same time, she took weekend classes at the Art Students League. Returning to Topeka, she studied and taught at Washburn College (now University) from 1914 to 1915 and instructed summer sessions at Kansas State Teachers College, Pittsburgh, during the same period. Afterward, she returned to the New York School of Fine and Applied Art, where she taught and took classes (1915-1918). She spent the summer of 1916 as an instructor at the Skidmore School of Art, Saratoga Springs, New York. In 1917, Pauline married Hampton F. Shirer, an architect from MIT, who was also an artist and came from a prominent Topeka family. The couple later settled in Wellesley, Massachusetts in 1921, living in a house which they built and decorated themselves. During the next 16 years, they raised two children and Pauline also found time to illustrate promotional brochures and primary school texts. During the early years of her career, Pauline focused on the applied arts – such as watercolor designs for curtains, silk fabrics, wallpaper as well as poster designs, theater backdrops and book covers. Later she would transition into creating her own representational works of art. Shirer returned to Topeka in 1937. During her career as a painter in oils and watercolors, she sketched in Europe four times and did paintings of New England subjects. However, most of her paintings were of the West. She executed Kansas views first, and they continued to hold her interest throughout her life. Typical were her studies of rustic buildings on the plains, glimpses of the prairie country, and the historic buildings of Topeka. She also painted New Mexico landscapes and Colorado mountain scenes. Among her exhibitions, mostly solo but occasionally with her husband, were those held at the Harlow and Harland’s Gallery, Boston (1922); The Scattery, Wellesley, MA (1925); Vose Galleries, Boston (1931); Topeka Art Guild (1952); Copley Society...

Provence Village Flower Market Scene Watercolour French Post Impressionist
Provence Village Flower Market Scene Watercolour French Post Impressionist

Provence Village Flower Market Scene Watercolour French Post Impressionist

By Pierre Neveu

Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire

Title: Provence Village Flower Market Scene Watercolour French Post Impressionist Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed Size (H x W): 7 x 5 inches Condition: Good overall with light handling to the sheet edges and the natural deckle of the paper; colours remain fresh and surface is sound, 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 lively and colourful French market scene by Pierre Neveu, capturing the vibrancy of daily life in a Provençal village square. Executed in expressive watercolour, the composition centres around a tree-shaded market stall surrounded by vivid flower displays in pots and baskets. The artist’s confident brushwork and instinctive sense of colour bring the bustling charm of southern France to life—yellow, crimson, and violet blooms set against the warm ochre tones of sunlit village façades. Hints of figures, awnings, and architectural details evoke the gentle rhythm of a Mediterranean morning. Neveu’s fluid handling of the medium allows the paint to breathe and shimmer, suggesting movement, light, and atmosphere rather than rigid form. This scene is typical of his Post-Impressionist style—combining structure and spontaneity to celebrate the poetry of everyday French life. Collectors of French market paintings...

Mid Century Barcelona Harbor Sailboats Mediterranean Impressionist Oil Painting
Mid Century Barcelona Harbor Sailboats Mediterranean Impressionist Oil Painting

Mid Century Barcelona Harbor Sailboats Mediterranean Impressionist Oil Painting

By Rafael Duran Benet

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Mid Century Barcelona Harbor Sailboats Mediterranean Impressionist Oil Painting Artist: Rafael Durán Benet Medium: Oil on canvas laid on board Dimensions: 50 × 61 cm (19.7 × 24 in) Signature: Signed lower right Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable paint surface with visible original brushwork Origin: Spain Period: Mid-20th century Expressive Mediterranean harbor scene depicting sailboats moored in the port of Barcelona by Spanish painter Rafael Durán Benet. The composition captures the luminous waterfront architecture reflected across calm harbor waters, structured by vertical masts and rhythmic dock lines that organize the pictorial space with clarity and balance. Loose impressionist brushwork and a refined palette of blues, violets and warm reflected tones create a vibrant atmospheric surface characteristic of mid-century Mediterranean coastal painting. Particularly notable is the treatment of reflections, executed through layered strokes that enhance depth and movement while reinforcing the decorative strength of the composition. Barcelona harbor scenes remain among the most desirable subjects within Spanish Mediterranean painting due to their architectural identity and strong interior presence. This work belongs to the Catalan Mediterranean luminist tradition associated with Joaquim Mir and Eliseu Meifrèn. Its reflective harbor treatment also connects with the broader European marine painting lineage of Paul Signac and Henri Le Sidaner. Rafael Durán Benet (Barcelona, 1931–2015) was a Spanish painter recognized for Mediterranean harbor scenes, coastal landscapes and urban views of Barcelona. Working within the Catalan postwar impressionist tradition, he developed a luminous pictorial language centered on reflections, atmosphere and architectural shoreline compositions. His paintings of the Barcelona waterfront remain among the most characteristic subjects of his production and are held today in private collections across Spain and Europe.
