What is "Post-Impressionism"?
Post-Impressionism was an art movement that began in France in the late 19th century, after Impressionism. Main figures of this movement included Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, and Georges Seurat. While Post-Impressionism also used vivid colors and light like Impressionism, artists in this movement aimed to go beyond its focus on reflecting the effects of a single moment. Instead, they aimed to express more personal emotions, abstract forms, and symbolic subjects. They experimented with different styles and techniques to show deeper meanings and individual interpretations, leading to a wide range of artistic styles that influenced many modern art movements.
