About this episode

This episode explores the Nabis movement and its role in bridging Impressionism and Post-Impressionism in late 19th Century French art.

French art in the late 19th Century was at a crossroads. Between Impressionism and Post-Impressionism and the various Modernist movements that would dominate the early 20th Century, the Turn-of-the-Century was a transitional period. And yet, no movement better embodied this transition than the Nabis, a fringe movement that would ultimately bridge the gap between the two. Tune in this week to discover more about them!
