Exhibitions / Gauguin, Bonnard, Denis. Prophets of the Avant-Garde

The Hermitage Amsterdam examines the artistic movements of the Nabis, an artistic trend which is still little known but one which includes many great artists of the late 19th and early 20th century such as Paul Gauguin, Pierre Bonnard and Maurice Denis. The term "Nabis" was borrowed from Hebrew and means "prophet". Where the Impressionists saw natural light as the key element of their creations, the Nabis, meanwhile, sought primarily to transcribe emotions and feelings.
