Nabis

The Nabis were a group of French artists in the late 19th century, active around 1890-1900. They aimed to evoke emotional and spiritual themes through bold colors and expressive forms. Influenced by Post-Impressionism and Symbolism, they sought to blend art and spirituality, often exploring mystical and mythological subjects. Their work broke away from traditional realism, emphasizing personal expression and symbolism. The Nabis played a key role in shaping modern art movements, inspiring future artists with their innovative approach to color, composition, and thematic depth.
