Synthetism is a term used by post-Impressionist artists like Paul Gauguin, Émile Bernard and Louis Anquetin to distinguish their work from ''Impressionism''. Earlier, ''Synthetism'' has been connected to the term ''Cloisonnism'', and later to ''Symbolism''. The term is derived from the French verb ''synthétiser'' (''to synthesize'' or ''to combine so as to form a new, complex product''). Paul Gauguin, Émile Bernard, Louis Anquetin, and others pioneered the style during the late 1880s and early 1890s. Synthetist artists aimed to ''synthesize'' three features: *The outward appearance of natural forms. *The artist’s feelings about their subject. *The purity of the aesthetic considerations of line, colour and form. In 1890, Maurice Denis summarized the goals for synthetism as, :''It is well to remember that a picture before being a battle horse, a nude woman, or some anecdote, is essentially a flat surface covered with colours assembled in a certain order.'' The term was first used in 1877 to distinguish between scientific and naturalistic impressionism, and in 1889 when Gauguin and Emile Schuffenecker organized an ''Exposition de peintures du groupe impressioniste et synthétiste'' in the Café Volpini at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. The confusing title has been mistakenly associated with impressionism. Synthetism emphasized two-dimensional flat patterns, thus differing from impressionist art and theory. ==Synthetist paintings== *Paul Sérusier - ''Talisman (Bois d'amour)'' (1888) *Paul Gauguin - ''Vision After The Sermon'' (1888), ''La Belle Angele'' (1889), ''The Loss of Innocence'' (1890) *Émile Bernard - ''Buckwheat Harvest'' (1888) *Charles Laval - ''Going to Market'' (1888) *Cuno Amiet - ''Breton Spinner'' (1893) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「synthetism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
