Post-Impressionism - France,
1880's to 1900
Post-Impressionism is an umbrella term used
to describe a variety of artists who were influenced by Impressionism but took
their art in different directions.
There is no single well-defined style of Post-Impressionism, but in general it
is less casual and more emotionally charged than Impressionist work.
The classic Post-Impressionists are Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van
Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Henri Rousseau. The Pointillists and Les
Nabis are also generally counted among the Post-Impressionists.
