Post-Impressionist Paintings

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.

Post-Impressionist Oil Painting of Freshwater Fish on White Plate
Post-Impressionist Oil Painting of Freshwater Fish on White Plate

Post-Impressionist Oil Painting of Freshwater Fish on White Plate

By Edouard Arthur

Located in Genève, GE

Dimensions with frame: 44 x 57 x 5 cm. Signed and dated "Arthur 48" in the lower left corner. A striking and modernist still life depicting three freshly caught fish arranged on a white ceramic platter beside a simple kitchen knife. Executed with confident, textured brushwork and a restrained palette, the composition transforms an everyday subject into a powerful study of form, color, and materiality. The artist emphasizes the tactile qualities of the fish through thick impasto and nuanced earthy tones, contrasting beautifully against the luminous white tablecloth and the deep, almost abstract dark background. The dynamic placement of the fish creates a subtle rhythm across the composition, while the pared-down setting recalls the directness and honesty of early 20th-century European still life painting. Influenced by Post-Impressionist and modern realist traditions, the work balances painterly spontaneity with careful observation. The expressive handling of paint and simplified composition evoke the spirit of French and Continental modernist still lifes of the early to mid-20th century. An elegant and sophisticated still life ideal for collectors of European modernism, culinary subjects, and expressive figurative painting. still life painting, fish still life, modernist still life, Post-Impressionist painting, European still life, fish painting, culinary still life, kitchen still life, French still life painting, School of Paris, expressionist still life, oil on canvas still life, impasto painting, rustic still life, seafood painting, market fish painting, tabletop still life, knife in still life, modern European painting, figurative still life, early modernism, painterly still life, collectible still life art, Continental painting, expressive brushwork, white plate still life, food still life painting...

Signed: Sven Axel Ekblom (1898–1987) Sven Axel Ekblom was a twentieth-century Swedish artist and illustrator celebrated for his meticulous technical skill, keen eye for natural subjects, and deeply rooted connection to Scandinavian design and nature. Born in Stockholm on December 28, 1898, he was raised in an artistic and scientific environment. His mother, Thérèse Ekblom, was herself a highly regarded botanical and scientific illustrator, which heavily influenced Sven’s early artistic development and disciplined approach to painting. Ekblom received his formal artistic training at the Stockholm Art School (Konstfack). There, he mastered classical composition and refined his work across multiple mediums, working predominantly in watercolors, gouache, and oil paints. In 1925, Ekblom accepted a position as an illustrator and cartoonist at the Swedish Museum of Natural History (Naturhistoriska riksmuseet) in Stockholm. This tenure lasted for decades and defined much of his public-facing career. His sharp eye for anatomy and textures made him a sought-after commercial and academic illustrator. Notable career achievements include: Major Publications: He provided extensive wildlife and nature plates for foundational Swedish reference works, including Brehms Bok om Djurens Liv (Brehm's Life of Animals) and the Nordisk familjebok encyclopedia. Ekblom was famously commissioned to illustrate pieces for the prestigious East Asian antiquities collection of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden.
