Post-Impressionism formed a delightful and dynamic path between the Impressionists of the Victorian era and the Modernists of the twentieth Century, but the artists themselves were hardly aware of their collective influence. In January 1911, the Grafton Galleries in London hosted an exhibition curated by the painter and critic Roger Fry called Manet and the Post-Impressionists. The show comprised works by Paul Gauguin, Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Édouard Manet, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Henri Edmond-Cross, Maurice Denis and Paul Sérusier as well as Picasso and Matisse. This was the first time the label 'Post-Impressionism' had been used and it was given to describe this group of artists who were all departing from the styles and subjects of the Impressionists. In varying ways, these predominantly French artists, were taking certain elements from this revolutionary movement on to new terrain.
