| Abstract
|
:
|
"Examines the work of postimpressionist painters - Van Gogh, Seurat, Cézanne, and Gauguin - and how they responded to cultural and spiritual crisis in the avant-garde world. Boime reconsiders familiar masterpieces and draws analogies with literary sources and social, personal, and political strategies to produce revelations that have eluded most art historians"--Provided by publisher
