Published in association with the Royal Academy of Arts, London, to accompany the landmark 1979–80 exhibition, this authoritative volume presents a sweeping survey of the diverse movements and individual talents that emerged across France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, and Switzerland in the decades following Impressionism. It details the works of towering figures such as Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Seurat, and their European contemporaries, illustrating how each artist absorbed, challenged, and ultimately transcended the Impressionist inheritance to forge radically new visual languages.\n\nThe catalogue argues that Post-Impressionism was never a single, unified movement but rather a constellation of deeply personal and national responses to modernity, each radiating outward to influence the birth of Expressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism in the twentieth century. With rigorous scholarship underpinning its richly illustrated pages, this volume stands as both a historical document and an indispensable reference for students and connoisseurs of European art alike. It invites the reader to trace the invisible threads connecting artists separated by language and geography, yet united by a shared conviction that painting could — and must — mean something more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269336539355,"sku":"2026200014625-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ebe63b8f-57bb-4a77-8fd8-53a0d9447975.png?v=1788998365","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014625-secondhand-post-impressionism-cross-currents-in-european-painting","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
