Nella vita di Denis, Maurice
Tutta la vita1890
Founding of the Nabis group
Together with his fellow students from the Académie Julian he formed the artistic group Les Nabis (from the Hebrew for "prophet"); Denis is considered its most prominent theorist.
1890
Manifesto in Art et Critique: the "flat surface"
He published in the journal Art et Critique his famous essay with the words defining a picture as "essentially a flat surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order" — a thesis that became part of the foundation of modernism.
October 1890
Meeting Marthe Meurier
He met Marthe Meurier, his future wife and the principal model of his paintings; from June 1891 their romance is documented in detail in his diary.
12 luglio 1893
Married: Marthe Meurier
1898
First trip to Rome, turn to neoclassicism
He visited Rome for the first time, where the works of Raphael and Michelangelo in the Vatican made a deep impression on him; on his return he reoriented his art toward neoclassicism.
1899
Exhibition at Durand-Ruel's and the breakup of the Nabis
Tensions among the Nabis came to a head at the exhibition at Durand-Ruel's gallery; from then on each went his own way in art, while remaining on friendly terms.
