With Alice Foster, Art Historian

The third in a series of talks examining traditions of landscape painting focuses on the Post Impressionists.

The Post Impressionists at the end of the 19th century and in the early years of the 20th re-shaped nature on the canvas.

Photography had freed them from verisimilitude, which allowed them to shape colour and form without describing exactly what they saw. Nature was the starting point for them and they created 'equivalents for nature'. Alice Foster's talk will feature artists such as Boudin, Cezanne van Gogh and Gauguin and their works in our collection.
