Waddington Custot's 'The Nabi Shock' Explores the Group's Lasting Influence

Waddington Custot's gallery in London is showcasing 'The Nabi Shock,' a collective exhibition that features more than 20 artists from the Nabis movement, such as Émile Bernard, Pierre Bonnard, Maurice Denis, and Édouard Vuillard. Running until September 12, 2026, the exhibit also includes contemporary creators like Marcel Dzama, Anne Rothenstein, and Fabienne Verdier, illustrating the lasting influence of the Nabis. This group emerged in late 19th-century Paris, serving as a link between Impressionism and Modernism while engaging in various artistic forms, including painting, theater design, graphic arts, and textiles. Highlighted pieces include Vuillard's 'La Chambre verte, rue Truffaut' (ca. 1900-01) and Bonnard's 'Étude pour 'Le Coursage à carreaux' (1892).
