Providing a fresh perspective on an important but underappreciated
group of late nineteenth-century French painters, this is the first
book to provide an in-depth account of the Nabis' practice of the
decorative, and its significance for twentieth-century modernism.
Over the course of the ten years that define the Nabi movement
(1890-1900), its principal artists included Edouard Vuillard,
Pierre Bonnard, Maurice Denis, Paul Serusier, and Paul Ranson. The
author reconstructs the Nabis' relationship to Impressionism, mass
culture, literary Symbolism, Art Nouveau, Wagnerianism, and a
revolutionary artistic tradition in order to show how their
painterly practice emerges out of the pressing questions defining
modernism around 1900. She shows that the Nabis were engaged,
nonetheless, with issues that are always at stake in accounts of
nineteenth-century modernist painting, issues such as the
relationship of high and low art, of individual sensibility and
collective identity, of the public and private spheres. The Nabis
and Intimate Modernism is a rigorous study of the intellectual and
artistic endeavors that inform the Nabis' decorative domestic
paintings in the 1890s, and argues for their centrality to
painterly modernism. The book ends up not only re-positioning the
Nabis to occupy a crucial place in modernism's development from
1860 to 1914, but also challenges that narrative to place more
emphasis on notions of decoration, totality and interiority.
