Concentrating on the period of great upheaval from the 1880's to the outbreak of World War I, this book will explore the constructive dialogue between painting and sculpture, and the influential roles played by three giants of the era, Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, across European art as a whole.

Through the 1880s, the very essence of representation, meaning, and process in Western art were profoundly interrogated. Plausible representations of the external world were cast aside in favour of non-naturalism expressed in varying degrees, from modest distortions of reality to pure abstraction.

The decades that followed, up to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, were a complex, vibrant period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking, and innovation. Concentrating on this period of great upheaval, After Impressionism explores the constructive dialogue between painting and sculpture, and the influential roles played by three giants of the era, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, and Vincent van Gogh, across European art as a whole.

While acknowledging the centrality of Paris as a cultural capital, it also uniquely highlights other centres of artistic ferment in Europe, from Brussels and Barcelona to Berlin and Vienna, and tracks the variety of routes into modernism in the early twentieth century.

This fully illustrated catalogue contains four essays, introductions to each city of ferment, and biographies of the artists.
