Editing Nabis (art) (section)

==Breakup==
In 1897, the Nabis were not present at the well-known [[Salon des Indépendants]], but instead held their own exposition at the Galerie Vollard, more avant-garde than the Salon. Their final exhibition as a group took place in 1900 at the Galerie Bernheim, with works of Bonnard, Denis, Ibels, Maillol, Roussel, Sérusier, Vallotton and Vuillard. After that show, each of the artists went his separate way.<ref name="Daphne" />

Looking back in 1909, Denis described the accomplishment of the Nabis. "Art is no longer a visual sensation that we gather, like a photograph, as it were, of nature. No, it is a creation of our spirit, for which nature is only the occasion."{{sfn|Bouillon|2006|pages=17–18}}

In 1937, Vuillard described the breakup of the Nabis. "...The march of progress was so rapid. Society was ready to welcome [[cubism]] and [[surrealism]] before we had reached what we had imagined as our goal. We found ourselves in a way suspended in the air."<ref>Pierre Bonnard and Ingid Rybeck, ''Chez Bonnard a Deauville'', ''Konstrevy'' no. 4, Stockholm (1937), cited in ''L'objet de l'Art, Les Nabis et le Decor'' (March 2019), page 65</ref>
