The Nabis, when painting becomes a decorative surface
At the end of the 1880s, a group of young artists brought together a new vision of painting around Paul Sérusier. The word "Nabi", from Hebrew, means "prophet". These painters want to renew art through color, flat areas, rhythm and the link between painting and decoration.
Flat colors
Volumes fade in favor of bold, simplified and expressive colored areas.
Modern privacy
Living rooms, gardens, meals, rooms and family scenes become poetic subjects.
Decorative surface
Patterns, wallpapers, fabrics and arabesques organize the painting as an independent decor.
Symbol and spirituality
In Maurice Denis or Paul Sérusier, formal simplicity also carries an interior dimension.
Locate the Nabis
Between Post-Impressionism and Art Nouveau
The Nabis extended the research of Gauguin and synthetism, while announcing a decorative conception of art close to Art Nouveau.
Post-impressionism
Color and structure move away from simple visual impression to express inner vision.
