First of all I really like the name, I think it was really cool and original. This "prophets" were a bunch of talented french painters. Each one had their own style but in a way their style were similars. I didn't liked Serusier's technique, the "Talisman" was a completely abstract painting and the technique was quite dissapointing. Every painter or aspirant must remember the quote of Denis because sometimes they want to have the idea and everything about what are they painting instead of paint and let the rest come by itself. Denis technique was much different from Serusier but he made strange paintings that confussed me, but I really liked the painting "Femmes au tombeau". The painting "Interior" was very good! The details, the light that enter from the window and the two person sitting in there made me think of a nice afternoon and with the detailing of the house I remembered my grandpa's house. These frenchmen had a lot of nudes paintings (normal for french people) but their nudes weren't so good the best nude painter was Bonnard nudes. His technique was different, he used the paint brush different and added some shades, relief or something like that in the body so it look more realistic, different from the others that just draw the body without any effect on it. From the "Nabis" Bonnard and Denis were my favourites.
Great comments! Les Nabis were more like a little club than many of these groups of artists.
