"Gauguin, de Haan, Slewinski, Moret, Jourdan, O'Connor, Laval, Maufra, Chamaillard, Filiger, Willumsen, Serusier, Bevan, Forbes-Robertson, Clement, Bernard, Amiet, Verkade, Seguin, Dehis, Ballin.These 21 artists constitute the Pont- Aven Group. Eleven were French-born, but of these only three were native Bretons (Chamaillard, Jourdan, and Maufra); the remainder were mixed European - three Danish, two English, two Dutch, one Irish, one Swiss, and one Polish. Their social and educated backgrounds were as disparate as their places of birth. Yet between 1886 and 1894, in and around the small Brittany town of Pont-Aven, they helped forge a new style of painting, led by their eldest member, Paul Gauguin."--Amazon.
