M The pictures collected together in the present Exhibi tion are the work of a group of artists who cannot be defined by any single term. The term Synthesists, which has been applied to them by learned criti cism, does indeed express a quality underlying their diversity; and it is the principal business of this introduction to expand the meaning of that word, which sounds too like the hiss of an angry gander to be a happy appellation. As a definition it has the drawback that this quality, common to all, is not always the one most impressive in each artist. In no school does individual temperament count for more. In fact, it is the boast of those who believe in this school, that its methods enable the individuality of the artist to find completer self-expression in his work than is possible to those who have committed themselves to representing objects more literally. This, indeed, is the first source of their quarrel with the Impressionists the post-impressionists consider the Impressionists too naturalistic. Yet their own connection with Impressionism is extremely close; Cezanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh all learnt in the Impressionist school. There are pictures on the walls by these three artists, painted in their earlier years, which at first strike the eye as being more impressionist than anything else; but, nevertheless, the connection of these artists with the Impressionists is accidental rather than intrinsic.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Cubists and Post-Impressionism This book was written in 1913 and published in March, 1914. Six months later Europe was in war. The academic historian will seek the cause or causes of the war in more or less concrete events and more or less obvious ambitions and aspirations of this or that nation. The profounder and more philosophical searcher after the motives and forces that control the destinies of man may reach the conclusion that the development of the western world had reached a condition where an explosion was inevitable, or, as one might say, an equilibrium so unstable a crash could not be avoided. The assassination of a Grand Duke could not plunge a world into war unless the world was on the verge of war. Princes, Grand-dukes, Kings and Queens have been assassinated with no results other than a few headlines and messages of condolence, but when Europe is ready for war and war is inevitable one excuse is as good as another. For a long time prior to the assassination of the Grand Duke at Sarajevo, 1914, the nations of not only Europe but the Orient were on edge. A war spirit was prevalent in even this country. In 1912 a the writer published a book which dealt with the existing competitive conditions in the industrial and commercial world. On pages 41-42 of that book I said: "The history of nations shows how the pendulum of progress swings to and fro from perfection in little things to perfection in big things. At the same period one nation may be doing things intensively, while another is doing things in a spirit of extension; one may be living a life of extraordinary fullness within its gates, another may find satisfaction only in conquering the earth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Letters of a Post-Impressionist: Being the Familiar Correspondence of Vincent Van Gogh Though the collection of lettedr contained in Cassirer's publication, "Vincent Van Gogh. Briefe," is not a complete one, from my knowledge of a very large number of the letters which are not included in this volume, I feel able to say that the present selection is in any case very representative and contains all that is essential in respect to Van Gogh's art-credo and general attitude of mind. For reasons into which it is unnecessary for me to enter here, it was found convenient to adopt the form of Cassirer's publication arranged by Margarete Mauthner, and my translation has therefore been made from the German (Fourth Edition, 1911). Still, with the view of avoiding the errors which were bound to creep into a double translation of this sort, I took care, when my version was complete, to compare it with as many of the original French letters as I was able to find, and I am glad to say that by this means I succeeded in satisfying myself as to the accuracy of every line from page 39 to the end. The letters printed up to page 38, some of which I fancy must have been written in Dutch - a language which in any case I could not have read - have not been compared with the originals.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The essays in this wide-ranging, beautifully illustrated volume capture the theoretical range and scholarly rigor of recent criticism that has fundamentally transformed the study of French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. Readers are invited to consider the profound issues and penetrating questions that lie beneath this perennially popular body of work as the contributors examine the art world of late nineteenth-century France—including detailed looks at Monet, Manet, Pissarro, Degas, Cézanne, Morisot, Seurat, Van Gogh, and Gauguin. The authors offer fascinating new perspectives, placing the artworks from this period in wider social and historical contexts. They explore these painters' pictorial and market strategies, the critical reception and modern criteria the paintings engendered, and the movement's historic role in the formation of an avant-garde tradition. Their research reflects the wealth of new documents, critical approaches, and scholarly exhibitions that have fundamentally altered our understanding of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. These essays, several of which have previously been familiar only to scholars, provide instructive models of in-depth critical analysis and of the competing art historical methods that have crucially reshaped the field.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from French Impressionists and Their Contemporaries Represented in American Collections To these technical matters I shall return later on. At this initial juncture it will be well, I think, to get our theme launched on a human basis: a basis of human drama. Of such drama there was, as we peer back at the period in question, no dearth. For, be the precise nature of their paint theories what they might, the artists responsible for the Impressionist movement in France had, like all pioneering artists in the history of art, to battle for their cause against the usual obstacles and with little beyond bootstrap encouragement. Suppose then, first, we consider the Impressionists simply as an insurgent group of artists who, along in the 1860's, found themselves drawn together by interests sufficiently mutual to make some sort of concerted action, when the time came, imperative. It was by no means a group formed over' night, nor, even after it had got pretty well established, was it a closely knit group. One of the underlying factors, as I see it now, was simply a shared wish to make the Salon, failing which where, in those days, would one be? The Paris Salon, like all academic organizations, was governed according to certain fixed canons of taste. It stood for what was accepted and respectable. Young artists with revolutionary ideas, it goes without saying, were treated as disruptive and dangerous rebels who must be suppressed in the interest of maintaining the dignity of Art - even in behalf of safeguarding the Morals of the State. An Old story, endlessly reverberant down the corridor of time, which need not be dwelt upon save to the extent of noting that (again true to form) the be havior of the Salon's administrators acted ultimately as a boomerang by impelling our outré artists of the 6o's and 70's never to relax until they had achieved public recognition.
