About this Event

**Updated Date**

Neo-Impressionism has always caused quite a stir. George Seurat was criticised as having brought on the death of art with his ‘new style of painting’. Similar critiques were made of artists Paul Signac, Anna Boch, Jan Toorop and Henri-Edmond Cross, but why? The Neo-Impressionist’s technique of painting in small dots of pure colour, allowed for a simplified form and a technique that played with colour and light. The colours would blend to create nuanced tones when viewed from a distance. This exciting approach to painting was not all the Neo-Impressionists offered, their radical political ideas prompted them to capture 19th Century European society – namely the struggle of the working class and the reactions against industrialisation.

Helene Kröller-Müller is readily known as one of the first great women art patrons of the 20th Century, her aim being to make her collections publicly accessible. The National Gallery invites audiences to explore Kröller-Müller’s extensive and comprehensive collection of Neo-Impressionist art works.

The lecture by Tom Parsons will prepare you for the exhibition so that you can make the most of your time in the gallery and gain the greatest insight into the works. Please join us for lunch afterwards at Fumo, Covent Garden.
