Produktbeschreibung

Neo-Impressionism and Anarchism in Fin-de-Siècle France examines for the first time the close and complex relationship between neo-impressionist landscapes and cityscapes and the anarchist sympathies of the movement's artists. It focuses especially on paintings produced between 1886 and 1905 by Paul Signac and Maximilien Luce, relating their pointillist technique and their subjects to the social, scientific and aesthetic ideals of the anarchist theoreticians Elisée Reclus, Pierre Kropotkin and Jean Grave.
