In 1910 an exhibition curated by Roger Fry rocked the British art world by introducing the public to the art of the post-impressionists. However, the Georgian poets are still writing of a tranquil leisurely England in which W. H. Davies, in his 1911 poem, Leisure can muse, What is this life if, full of care,/We have no time to stand and stare; and where Rupert Brooke, at the end of Grantchester can be asking: Stands the church clock at ten to three;/ and is there honey still for tea? Not exactly a dynamic, forward-looking image, but it is possible to sense an underlying unease about all this, almost a desire for time to stand still out of a fear of what the future holds. whither harmony? The term "Post-Impressionism" came from the British art critic and artist Roger Fry in 1906. The term Post-Impressionism was coined by art critic Roger Fry in 1906, and the first exhibition to include this term was Manet and the Post-Impressionists at the Grafton Galleries in London in 1910. -. He moved to Paris in 1886, where he was influenced by the work of Degas, Gauguin and Seurat, but said, Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes I use colour more arbitrarily so as to express myself more forcibly.After a brush with the Neo-Impressionist style, as seen in Orchard in Blossom (Apricot Trees), 1888, he later developed his distinctive and renowned style of swirling brushstrokes and intense emotion, expressed with vivid colours. The distance between the execution of many of these works in the late-nineteenth century and the British response in 1910, when the works were touted as new and shocking, has often been taken as a sign that the British art world lagged behind its continental peers in artistic innovation and progressive work,[3] the violence of the British response to the work born of unfamiliarity (Bullen, Introduction 2), and as proof that Fry and his compatriots, in coming to these works so late (1910), equally lagged behind scholars on the continent. The movement was a response to Impressionism, and it gave a deeper impression of the mind of the painter in his paintings. Ed. A number of artists at this time are preoccupied with the theme of the search for the lost paradise. Yet the opening chapter of Joyces A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is dazzlingly cinematic in its manipulation of time without traditional transitions and its use of literary equivalents of flashback, flash-forward, parallel sequences, jump cuts, subliminal cuts etc. The movement is "post" impressionist because it came after the Impressionist group. Manet and the Post-Impressionists, visited by about 25,000 individuals over the course of two months (15), enabled Fry to indulge his newly embraced interest in late-nineteenth-century French art, and the show inspired countless artists, students, and writers. Web. For example, Van Goghs Wheatfield with Crows now one of his most famous and admired works was looked on at the Exhibition with considerable puzzlement and even downright hostility. As the critic V. de S. Pinto commented: Nobody would guess from Georgian poetry that there had been a Russian Revolution or that Germany was preparing to dominate Europe. Closer to home, nobody would guess either from the poetry, or from Marshs subsequent anthologies, that the nation was experiencing an unstable period politically (an absence all the more remarkable since Marsh was Winston Churchills private secretary for the best part of 20 years).

Conversely, though equally significantly, its also the period of the English Nature poet, celebrated particularly in the runaway success of Edward Marshs anthology, Georgian Poetry, published in 1912 and which, as W.

Lawrence is said to have earned as much for his one poem included in the anthology, Snapdragon as he earned from some of his novels.

In their book entitled Wittgensteins Vienna (1996), the authors Allan Janil and Stephen Toulmin posed the following question: Was it an absolute coincidence that the beginnings of twelve-tone music, modern architecturenon-representational art and psychoanalysis were all taking place simultaneously?
