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, this book will explore 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 will also uniquely
highlight other centres of artistic ferment in Europe, from
Brussels and Barcelona to Berlin and Vienna, and track the variety
of routes into modernism in the early twentieth century. This fully
illustrated catalogue will contain four essays, introductions to
each city of ferment and biographies of the artists. Published by
