This book, *Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne, and Beyond: Post-Impressionist Masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay*, is a comprehensive catalog of an exhibition curated by Guy Cogeval, Sylvie Patry, and Stéphane Guégan. The exhibition, held at the de Young Museum in San Francisco from September 25, 2010, to January 18, 2011, showcases post-impressionist masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay. The book includes essays by the curators and contributions from other experts, providing insights into the artistic movements and artists of the late 19th century, particularly focusing on the works of Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and Paul Cézanne. It also explores the broader context of Impressionism and its influence on subsequent artistic developments, challenging the traditional view of Post-Impressionism as a simple rejection of Impressionism. The book highlights the complex and interconnected nature of the artistic landscape of the time, emphasizing the diverse and innovative approaches taken by artists such as Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Pissarro, as well as the younger generation of painters like Seurat, Gauguin, and Van Gogh. The exhibition and the book aim to present a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the fin-de-siècle period, showcasing the rich and dynamic artistic environment of the late 19th century.This book, *Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne, and Beyond: Post-Impressionist Masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay*, is a comprehensive catalog of an exhibition curated by Guy Cogeval, Sylvie Patry, and Stéphane Guégan.
