Em "Hommage à Cézanne, 1900", um grupo de artistas reúne-se para admirar uma natureza morta de Cézanne. Entre eles encontram-se Redon, Vuillard, Bonnard - à direita, com óculos e um cachimbo - e o próprio Denis comk a sua mulher na extrema direita, partilhando uma adulação por Cézanne. Eram todos membros do grupo Nabis, cujo nome deriva da palavra hebraica "profeta". Estes autores centravam-se no uso da cor e do desenho nas suas obras. «Lembrem-se que uma pintura, antes de ser um cavalo, um nu ou qualquer outra figura, é uma superfície plana coberta de cores distribuidas com uma determinada ordem». Esta famosa definição de Denis aponta para uma abordagem fundamentalmente decorativa da arte. Paradoxalmente, o estilo deste quadro não é particularmente influenciado por Cézanne. A gama subtil de cores rosadas e as ténues nuances de tom são caracteríticas de Denis neste período. Católico convicto, Denis pintava frequentemente obras de uma natureza espiritual intensa, que combinam sensações ligadas ao sonho com a realidade concreta. Maurice Denis nasceu em Granville (FR) em 1870 e morreu em Paris (FR) em 1943.

Maurice Denis received a classical education in the Lycée Condorcet where he met Vuillard, Roussel and Lugné-Poë. While studying in the Lycée he took drawing lessons and copied paintings by the old masters. In 1888 he enrolled at the Académie Julian and then at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. In the same year Paul Sérusier showed his friends at the Académie Julian the famous landscape, which he had painted at the suggestion of Gauguin at Pont-Aven and which, for this reason, was considered a "talisman" of Gauguin's doctrine of Synthetism. This was a decisive revelation for Denis who found himself attracted by the new idea of Synthetism and by Gauguin's paintings, which he first saw at the exhibition of the Impressionist and Synthetist Group at the Café Volpini in 1889. Denis joined the Nabis (a Hebrew word meaning 'prophets') and in 1890, in the review Art et Critique, he published his famous article in which he stated the artistic credo of the group. During this period he became associated with the Symbolist writers, illustrating the books of André Gide and Paul Verlaine's Sagesse, and designing front-pieces for Maurice Maeterlinck's Pelléas et Mélisande and for musical scores of Claude Debussy. Like the other Nabis, Denis experimented in various fields of art, designing carpets, painting cartoons for stained-glass and mosaic panels, and decorating ceramics. The 1890s saw his first large-scale decorative works, the painted ceiling in the house of the French composer Chausson (1894) and a cycle of panels on the theme The Legend of St. Hubert (1897) in the house of the collector Cochin. His early work as a painter is marked by originality, though he was strongly influenced by the art of the Italian Renaissance, especially after his trips to Tuscany and Umbria in 1895 and 1897. Though his paintings and mural decorations of subsequent years can now seem rather anaemic and sugary, his fame continued to grow. He received numerous commissions: from 1899 to 1903 he decorated the Church of Sainte-Croix at Vésinet; in 1908 he produced his Eternal Spring for Thomas; and in 1908-9 he was commissioned by Ivan Morozov, Russian industrialist and famous patron of art, to make a series of decorative panels, The Story of Psyche, which he brought to Moscow in January 1909 to install in Morozov's house. In 1913, Denis did ceiling paintings for the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées; in 1917, he worked in the Church of St. Paul at Geneva; in 1924, he decorated the dome of the Petit Palais in Paris; and in 1928, he painted the ceiling above the staircase in the Senate building. Between 1936 and 1939, he did a number of decorative panels for the Palais des Nations in Geneva. In addition to his work as a painter, Denis was one of the most prominent art theoreticians of the time. His articles on contemporary art, published in various magazines, were later collected in Théories (1912) and Nouvelles theories (1922).

I am so happy that I found your art-blog! Unluckily, I am not from Portugal, so I can only read the english texts.
I love Denis, but I have presented in my blog just one of his paintings, the Muses. He was the leader of Nabis movement.
I would be very pleasant, if you visited my art-blog. But you will face the same problem with me. Most of the texts are in greek...
Nice to meet you!
