The Post-Impressionists

In this survey and reappraisal of an era, many minor as well as major artists are discussed and illustrated. By concentrating on what the artists and contemporary critics did and said, and by looking at what the artists painted, the author raises very sharply the question of whether the term "Post-Impressionist" has any meaning. But what matters, of course, is not the label, but the ever-changing reality and the richness of individual achievement. This edition features 180 illustrations, including 80 in colour.
