Influenced by Gauguin, the Nabis developed a style characterized by flat areas of boldly juxtaposed but muted colors and heavily outlined surface patterns. They were unified by the decorative character of their work and their dislike of impressionism . After a successful show in 1899, the group gradually disbanded.
