ABSTRACT
The scope of the present Exhibition differs somewhat from that of two years ago. Then the main idea was to show the work of the ‘Old Masters’ of the new movement, to which the somewhat negative label of Post-Impressionism was attached for the sake of convenience. Now the idea has been to show it in its contemporary development not only in France, its native place, but in England where it is of very recent growth, and in Russia where it has liberated and revived an old native tradition. It would of course have been possible to extend the geographical area immensely. Post-Impressionist schools are flourishing, one might almost say raging, in Switzerland, Austro-Hungary and most of all in Germany. But so far as I have discovered these have not yet added any positive element to the general stock of ideas.
