Category:Post-Impressionism

Post-Impressionism is a French art movement (c. 1886–1905) that emerged as a reaction against Impressionism’s limitations, pushing beyond naturalistic light and color to emphasize emotional expression, symbolism, and structural order. Key artists like Cézanne, van Gogh, Gauguin, and Seurat used vibrant, unnatural colors and distinctive, thick brushstrokes to convey subjective inner worlds rather than fleeting optical realities.
