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
◦ The term Post-Impressionism was first used by art critic Roger Fry in
1906
◦ Post-Impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its
limitations: they continued using vivid colors, often thick application of
paint, and real-life subject matter, but were more inclined to emphasize
geometric forms, distort form for expressive effect, and use unnatural or
arbitrary color
ARTISTS
