The Nabis 1890-1898 The name 'Nabi', is Hebrew for 'prophet' The Nabis were a group of artists, led by Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard, they were closely connected to the Symbolist movement and Art Nouveau. They rejected Impressionism’s emphasis on ephemeral effects and concentrated on reducing the elements of a painting to an interplay of shapes and colours. They strongly opposed positivism and naturalism, movements that were aligned with the Impressionist movement. As a group they favored browns, beiges and blues. The Nabis worshipped Paul Gauguin and emulated his style and bohemian attitude. Japanese prints, Carolingian Art and the great paintings of the Sienese School were rich sources of inspiration for the fun loving, avant-garde painters.
