A collection of contemporary reviews and essays illustrating the response of English taste to modern French art from the first Post- Impressionist Exhibition in 1910 to the outbreak of the First World War. The notion of Post-Impressionism, unlike its earlier counterpart, Impressionism, was an exclusively English contribution to art history. Originally used to denote the work of Cezanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse and the Fauve painters, it rapidly assimilated Futurism, Cubism and recent English work like Vorticism. Writings are presented chronologically. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
