from courbet's country peasants to manet's new classes in the cities, from monet's realism of light to the visions of van gogh the painters we've looked at seem to progressively move away from the real world, rejecting external appearances in favor of an inner, personal imaginative truth. what we have seen is a crisis about how to handle the modern in its immediate form of the city. the importance of the artists of the 1880s and 1890s is a kind of hinge. artists still felt themselves responsible to the world-- its social, as well as its natural, orders. they had also opened up a realm of hitherto unimagined freedom for art. later artists saw, in the imaginative colors of gauguin in the exhilaration of van gogh's energetic brushwork and above all, in the inventiveness of cezanne's later work, resources which were to inspire the whole array of 20th-century isms from purism to expressionism from fauvism to cubism. captioning performed by the national captioning institute, inc. captions copyright 1989 educational broadcasting corporation annenberg media ♪ ld is by movado makers of the mova
