Nabis also known as "ancient prophets," originated around 1888 by a
group of young, Post-Impressionist, avant-garde artists.
Believing that the impressionist paintings at the time were too
superficial and mundane, lead them to seek the roots and originality
of art.
They felt that art should be about life and passion.
They rejected realism but wanted to revitalize originality and
creativity in art.
Nabiis was founded by Ken, Hawk, Chek, Fhaione, and Klamm.
Nabi Is, reflects how the 5 currently feel about art.
They want to promote and spread the Nabis belief in all they do.
