Rebelling
against academicism, these painters—among them Maurice Denis, Paul
Sérusier, Félix Vallotton, Pierre Bonnard, and Edouard Vuillard—wanted
to restore feeling and imagination to the arts. They rejected impressionism
as too restrained a rendition of nature. Instead, they would suffuse their
work with emotion by using color in purely instinctive ways and by representing
nature expressively, not literally.
