Neo-Impressionists embraced an exciting new approach to colour and painting, using small dots of pure colour to create nuanced tones and an illusion of light. When first displayed, critics thought this new style of painting might bring about the death of painting itself.
This radical new style of painting reflected the radical new political ideas of late 19th-century Europe. George Seurat, Paul Signac, Anna Boch, Jan Toorop and Henri-Edmond Cross painted luminous landscapes, portraits and interior scenes, but also the struggles of the working class.
Exhibition curators Christopher Riopelle and Julien Domercq lead this exclusive Members’ introduction to ‘Radical Harmony: Helene Kröller-Müller's Neo-Impressionists’. Join Christopher and Julien as they introduce the Neo-Impressionists and the incredible paintings in this exhibition, with an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the talk.
This exhibition is a collaboration between the National Gallery and the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo. The museum was founded by Helene Kröller-Müller, one of the first great women art patrons of the 20th century.
