Neo-impressionism and the dream of realities : painting, poetry, music
Homburg, Cornelia2014
Books
This catalogue explores the creative exchange between neo-impressionist painters and Symbolist writers and composers in the late 1880s and early 1890s. Symbolism, with its emphasis on subjectivity, dream worlds, and spirituality, has often been considered at odds with neo-impressionism's approach to portraying colour and light. This book repositions the relationship between these movements and looks at how neo-impressionist artists such as Maximilien Luce, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, and Henry van de Velde created evocative landscape and figural scenes by depicting emptiness, contemplative moods, Arcadia, and other themes.
