Pont-Aven, Paris and ports · The street transformed by the flat
Night cafes, evening avenues, bridges and ports cease to be mere views: the simplified outline transforms the city into a rhythm of crowds, signs and light.
Around 1890, the Nabis and their relatives observed the city with lessons from Gauguin, Japonism and posters. The traditional perspective flattens; silhouettes, street lamps, facades and signs become signs. Émile Bernard synthesizes Pont-Aven into colorful masses, Louis Anquetin applies partitionism to the Moulin Rouge and Avenue de Clichy, while Maurice Denis orders ports and bridges like friezes. The urban scene thus reflects traffic, spectacle and modern experience. The selection "Paris, cities and urban scenes Nabis" notably compares View of Pont-Aven and AU MOULIN ROUGE. Its reading favors details.
The Nabi city is not measured by its streets: it can be recognized by the speed with which a silhouette, a poster and a light become a motif.
