Captivating artworks by renowned painters including Seurat and Signac are explored alongside pieces by lesser-known Neo-Impressionists, such as Anna Boch.
This catalogue accompanies the National Gallery's first-ever exhibition devoted to the vibrant Neo-Impressionist movement. Organised thematically, the book interweaves the works of French, Belgian, and Dutch artists, painted from 1886โthe year in which Seurat established the Pointillist movementโto the early twentieth century.
The publication focuses on an exceptional loan of works from the Krรถller-Mรผller Museum in Otterlo, The Netherlands, founded by the pioneering collector Helene Krรถller-Mรผller. She was one of the first great women art patrons of the twentieth century, and her acquisitions and support of artists were key to shaping the canon of modern art.
The book recounts the formation of Krรถller-Mรผller's extraordinary collection, before thematic texts explore the use of the dot in Neo-Impressionism; the relationship between the movement and anarchism; the interplay between Neo-Impressionism, modern life and entertainment; as well as the subjects of interiors and portraiture, which recur throughout these mesmerising works.
