We have the beautiful images about the life of the \u2018bourgeoisie\u2019 or middle class of the \u2018Belle Epoque\u2019 (beautiful period); women with fancy and luxurious clothes, worldly events in famous bars and caf\u00e9s, the joy of a new style of life imbued with pleasure, relaxation and amusement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, this is only one side\u00a0of the coin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cParis Fin de Si\u00e8cle\u201d is an exhibition that shows also the other half other coin, in which political, cultural and social upheaval took place in the capital of France. Fin-de-si\u00e8cle Paris, and France itself, were characterised by many changes and transformations. Especially in 1890s there were social problems and economic crises that caused the rise of conservatism and radical left-winged groups. A hard climate developed, especially after the assassination of the president Sadi Carnot and the unlawful conviction for treason of Alfred Dreyfus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This situation elicited a notable polarization in all the fields. This polarization was like a flux of contrasts that flowed all over the country: bourgeois and bohemian, conservative and radical, Catholic and anticlerical, anti-republican and anarchist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The exhibition mirrors the aspects\u00a0of this anxious, unsettled era, a period in which diverse artistic movements developed. The pieces exposed deal with the late 1880s generation of artists that included Neoimpressionists, Symbolists, and Nabis. It includes artists such as Paul Signac, Odilon Redon, Pierre Bonnard, and Henri de Toulouse Lautrec.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/vallotton_etranger.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44260\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/vallotton_etranger.jpg?resize=580%2C720\" alt=\"vallotton_etranger\" width=\"580\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/vallotton_etranger.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/vallotton_etranger.jpg?resize=241%2C300&amp;ssl=1 241w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/vallotton_etranger.jpg?resize=600%2C744&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/vallotton_etranger.jpg?resize=680%2C844&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/vallotton_etranger.jpg?resize=300%2C372&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">F\u00c9LIX VALLOTTON<br \/>\n<em>The Stranger<\/em> (L\u00b4\u00e9tranger)<br \/>\n1894<br \/>\nWoodcut on paper<br \/>\n22.4 x 17.9 cm (8 13\/16 x 7 1\/16 inches)<br \/>\nPrivate collection<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Indeed, the most fascinating aspect of the exhibition is probably the intertwinement between these different artistic movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The pieces of the Neoimpressionists, such as Signac, Pisarro or Cross, display a revolutionary painting technique based on the juxtaposition of individual pigment strokes to display an intense single hue. Neoimpressionists made unified compositions with complementary colours and melliflous forms. The light is conveyed in its shades, in its scientific studies when refracted by water, filtered thorough atmospheric conditions or rippled across fields. The depiction of working classes is another concern, as most of the Neoimpressionists had left-winged political views. However, apart from the political objectives, a formal quest of harmony is graspable in their shimmering representations of cities, suburbs, countrysides and seasides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Cross-La-promenade-bord-de-mer-ou-le-cypres-1897.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44253\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Cross-La-promenade-bord-de-mer-ou-le-cypres-1897.jpg?resize=580%2C401\" alt=\"Cross---La-promenade,-bord-de-mer-ou-le-cypres-1897\" width=\"580\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Cross-La-promenade-bord-de-mer-ou-le-cypres-1897.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Cross-La-promenade-bord-de-mer-ou-le-cypres-1897.jpg?resize=300%2C207&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Cross-La-promenade-bord-de-mer-ou-le-cypres-1897.jpg?resize=600%2C414&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Cross-La-promenade-bord-de-mer-ou-le-cypres-1897.jpg?resize=680%2C470&amp;ssl=1 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">HENRI-EDMOND CROSS<br \/>\n<em>The Promenade or The Cypresses<\/em> (La Promenade or Les cypr\u00e8s)<br \/>\n1897<br \/>\nColor lithograph<br \/>\nimage: 28.3 x 41 cm (11 1\/8 x 16 1\/8 inches)<br \/>\nsheet: 43 x 56.8 cm (16 15\/16 x 22 3\/8 inches)<br \/>\nPrivate collection<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Signac-Saint-Tropez-fontaine-des-Lices-1895.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44256\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Signac-Saint-Tropez-fontaine-des-Lices-1895.jpg?resize=580%2C465\" alt=\"Signac---Saint-Tropez-fontaine-des-Lices-1895\" width=\"580\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Signac-Saint-Tropez-fontaine-des-Lices-1895.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Signac-Saint-Tropez-fontaine-des-Lices-1895.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Signac-Saint-Tropez-fontaine-des-Lices-1895.jpg?resize=600%2C480&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Signac-Saint-Tropez-fontaine-des-Lices-1895.jpg?resize=680%2C544&amp;ssl=1 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">PAUL SIGNAC<br \/>\n<em>Saint-Tropez, Fontaine des Lices<\/em><br \/>\n1895<br \/>\nOil on canvas<br \/>\n65 x 81 cm (25 9\/16 x 31 7\/8 inches)<br \/>\nPrivate collection<\/p>\n<p>The Symbolists, such as Redon or Denis, on the other hand, focus their art on the search of the transcendent. Symbolism at the beginning emerged as a literary movement in the 1880s. Then its principles were codified in 1886 when poet Jean Mor\u00e9as published the \u201cSymbolist Manifesto\u201d in the French newspaper Le Figaro. In the field of art, Symbolists had anti-naturalistic features in common. They were artists who lost faith in science, since it failed to alleviate the ills of modern society. They rejected materialism, they denied reality as objective, believing in a sort of hidden spiritual reality enshrined in the appearances. In fact their main concerns revolved around spiritualism, states of mind and\u00a0evocative, dreamlike images. Their representations conveyed the ethereal instead of the concrete, the fantastic instead of the factual, all in the framework of mythological and religious themes, of the dark world of nightmares or the deep psyche of the mind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Redon-Pegase.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44255\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Redon-Pegase.jpg?resize=580%2C817\" alt=\"Redon---Pegase\" width=\"580\" height=\"817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Redon-Pegase.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Redon-Pegase.jpg?resize=212%2C300&amp;ssl=1 212w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Redon-Pegase.jpg?resize=600%2C845&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Redon-Pegase.jpg?resize=680%2C957&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Redon-Pegase.jpg?resize=300%2C422&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">ODILON REDON<br \/>\n<em>Pegasus<\/em> (P\u00e9gase)<br \/>\nCa. 1895-1900<br \/>\nPastel on paper<br \/>\n67.4 x 48.7 cm (2 9\/16 x 19 3\/16 inches)<br \/>\nPrivate collection<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Denis-Avril-Les-Anemones1891.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44251\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Denis-Avril-Les-Anemones1891.jpg?resize=580%2C491\" alt=\"Denis---Avril-Les-Anemones1891\" width=\"580\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Denis-Avril-Les-Anemones1891.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Denis-Avril-Les-Anemones1891.jpg?resize=300%2C253&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Denis-Avril-Les-Anemones1891.jpg?resize=600%2C507&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Denis-Avril-Les-Anemones1891.jpg?resize=680%2C575&amp;ssl=1 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">MAURICE DENIS<br \/>\n<em>April (The Anemones)<\/em> (Avril [Les an\u00e9mones])<br \/>\n1891<br \/>\nOil on canvas<br \/>\n65 x 78 cm (25 9\/16 x 30 11\/16 inches)<br \/>\nPrivate collection<br \/>\n\u00a9Maurice Denis, VEGAP, Bilbao, 2017<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Then, last but not least, there is the art movement of the Nabis, together with the print culture of\u00a0the 1890s. Printmaking flourished in France with the mark of characters such as Toulouse-Lautrec or of the Nabis artists. The latter were mainly inspired by the Synthetism of Gaugin, based on flat colours and patterns, and by the two dimensional Japanese prints. Printmaking was a &#8216;low&#8217; art exempt from academic rules and for this reason it provided more freedom to the artists. The Nabis made posters, prints and illustrations for journals like &#8216;La Revue blanche&#8217;. Toulouse-Lautrec instead worked on city life subjects for posters and advertisements that caught the eye\u00a0of the passers-by. He made sorts of caricatures depictions of bohemian venues and performers such as La Goulue (The Glutton) or Jane Avril.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Seurat-La-concierge-vers-1884.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44270\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Seurat-La-concierge-vers-1884.jpg?resize=580%2C747\" alt=\"Seurat---La-concierge-vers-1884\" width=\"580\" height=\"747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Seurat-La-concierge-vers-1884.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Seurat-La-concierge-vers-1884.jpg?resize=233%2C300&amp;ssl=1 233w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Seurat-La-concierge-vers-1884.jpg?resize=600%2C772&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Seurat-La-concierge-vers-1884.jpg?resize=680%2C875&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Seurat-La-concierge-vers-1884.jpg?resize=300%2C386&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">GEORGES SEURAT<br \/>\n<em>Caretaker<\/em> (Concierge)<br \/>\n1884<br \/>\ncont\u00e9 crayon on paper<br \/>\n32.3 x 24.5 cm,<br \/>\nPrivate collection<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ranson-La-jeune-fille-et-la-mort-1894.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44269\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ranson-La-jeune-fille-et-la-mort-1894.jpg?resize=580%2C968\" alt=\"Ranson---La-jeune-fille-et-la-mort-1894\" width=\"580\" height=\"968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ranson-La-jeune-fille-et-la-mort-1894.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ranson-La-jeune-fille-et-la-mort-1894.jpg?resize=179%2C300&amp;ssl=1 179w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ranson-La-jeune-fille-et-la-mort-1894.jpg?resize=613%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 613w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ranson-La-jeune-fille-et-la-mort-1894.jpg?resize=600%2C1001&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ranson-La-jeune-fille-et-la-mort-1894.jpg?resize=680%2C1134&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Ranson-La-jeune-fille-et-la-mort-1894.jpg?resize=300%2C500&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">PAUL RANSON<br \/>\n<em>The Young Girl and Death<\/em> (La jeune fille et la mort)<br \/>\n1894<br \/>\nGraphite and charcoal on paper<br \/>\n55.2 x 33 cm (21 \u00be x 13 inches)<br \/>\nPrivate collection<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Although apparently disconnected, these movements have some features in common and in their contrasts and similarities they seem to follow the same path;\u00a0the artists\u2019 will to grasp a fugitive moment of contemporary life led to the creation of highly crafted works that seem not to have naturalistic hints.
