Monday Morning Museum: Les Nabis


Les Nabis – 1891 to 1899
Les Nabis (pronounced nah-BEE) were a group of Post-Impressionist avant-garde artists who set the pace for fine arts and graphic arts in France in the 1890s. Initially a group of friends interested in contemporary art and literature, most of them studied at the private art school of Rodolphe Julian (Académie Julian) in Paris in the late 1880s. – Wikipedia.org

In addition to Félix Vallotton (see art example below), other members of Les Nabis are Pierre Bonnard, Ker Xavier Roussel, Maurice Denis and Édouard Vuillard.
