Post-Impressionism
Post-Impressionism is a predominantly French art movement that developed roughly between 1886 and 1905, from the last Impressionist exhibition to the birth of Fauvism.
Post-Impressionism emerged as a reaction against Impressionists' concern for the naturalistic depiction of light and colour. The movement was led by Paul Cézanne (known as father of Post-impressionism), Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Georges Seurat.
Post-Impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations: they continued using vivid colours, often thick application of paint, and real-life subject matter, but were more inclined to emphasise geometric forms, distort form for expressive effect, and use unnatural or arbitrary colour.
