What is Post-Impressionism
• Artists were dissatisfied with Impressionism• Lacked line, shape, color – loose brushwork did
not create solidity• Wanted to restore color and shape or even
subjectivity (don’t just copy nature)– Moves away from objectivity (positivism)
• Did not want to simply capture a passing moment• Like Impressionism, was based in France• Thrived from 1880-1905

and how the moment is reflected by light and color• Transitory nature of their art is conveyed through
cropped edges, informal arrangements• Post Impressionists not satisfied• Seurat and Cezanne played with color and shape• Gaugin and Van Gogh explored the world as an observed
