Post Impressionism

Impressionism and Post-Impressionism; two artistic periods that have very similar names, yet had very different styles. Impressionism represents the rebellion of artists against the common standards of the time, instead hoping to show the way that light interacts with the subject, especially landscapes (Maylon “Artists by Movement: Impressionism”). On the other, Post-Impressionism built off of the foundation of Impressionism, yet took the building in a completely different direction, using their art to achieve a purpose and go deeper than a simple painting of a pond (Maylon “Artists by Movement: Post-Impressionism”). However, artists from both periods achieved meteoric fame, etching their names into the book of important art history. So, while…

Hi I am Sahar and I am going to talk about post impressionism. Post Impressionism started in the beginning of 19th century and it is the period after impressionism. It is the result of the reaction which was against impressionism in the late 1880s. Impressionism started in France. By reference to Matthew Collins, Impressionism was the first movement of modern art and it started in 1880s. Impressionism is about reality, expressions, sensations, and the use of the boldness of colours. Artists…

Post impressionism was an era of art that took place after impressionism. Post impressionism began in the early 1880s as a response to the previous era of art, known as impressionism. The post impressionism movement was caused by young artists and critics who wanted art pieces to have more focus on the subject matter of the piece, resulting in many artists placing more emphasis on the subject. Various art styles were created in this era, such as pointillism, a technique involving the use of dots…

The earlier art period; Impressionism is a distinctive time in art history that took place from 1870-1890. Artists during this period focused on ordinary subjects and objects found in nature. They paid close attention to optical effects, and how the light reflected off their subjects during different times of the day. Painters during this period were known as “Impressionist’s”.

Only one of his paintings is known to have sold while he was alive. Vincent van Gogh may have been labeled a Post-Impressionist, but the emotional torment expressed in his work led him to develop a highly individual style that is hard to categorize. Post- Impressionist artist were influenced by Impressionism but rejected its constraints and embarked on their own artistic styles which were much more emotionally based than Impressionist work. Post-Impressionist were less idyllic, they wanted to…

Vincent van Gogh is arguably one of the most influential, and well-known post-impressionist artists people in the art world. His aim to capture his mental instability and emotions through his pieces has been adapted to many following movements since. He is quoted to have stated, “I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart” (Quotes) a viewer can see this statement in every piece of work through his stark brush-strokes and color palette. Van Gogh was born second out of six children…

MacCarthy (1911, pp.8, 9) argued that the Post-Impressionists were far more expressive of emotions than the Impressionists. Post-Impressionism is the group of painters included Gauguin, Cezanne, Seurat and Vincent Van Gogh working in France in the 1880s. Post-Impressionists intended to express beyond the impression which is the main concern of the Impressionists, while subjects of the Impressionists' painting are mainly landscapes or scenes of modern suburban life. Indeed, in the…

Impressionism began in the late 1800s in France led by a group of artists who rebelled against the standard artistic teachings of that time period. Specifically, Impressionists rejected the artificiality of painting idealized scenes in studio settings; rather, they preferred painting realistic scenarios from outside in their natural setting, emphasizing the play of light on objects and the utilization of painting techniques that suggested movement and the transitory nature of the scene (Grove).…

Cézanne once said, “Monet is only an eye, but good God, what an eye.” Post-Impressionism is a clear continuation of Impressionism whereby it borrowed many of the techniques from Impressionism but added more formalism and emotion to the works while not being as concerned with the effects of light. I would like to now compare Claude Monet's 1879 painting Vétheuil in the Fog, as an example of Impressionism, and Paul Cézanne's 1904 painting Le Château Noir, as an example of post-Impressionism, to…
