The Nabis were a group of post-impressionist painters, for example Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, Marguerite Serusier, Maurice Denis, Paul Serusier, and associated artists like Suzanne Valadon, active from c1888–c1900, whose bold painting and use of colour and strong use of line, created new approaches in art.
