Movement Description
Post-Impressionism is an art movement that emerged in France in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by a continuation of the Impressionist focus on light and color, but with a greater emphasis on structure, form, and symbolism. Post-Impressionist artists sought to expand upon the ideas of Impressionism, often using bolder colors, more expressive brushwork, and innovative techniques. Key figures in the Post-Impressionist movement include Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, and Georges Seurat. The movement marked a turning point in the history of modern art, laying the foundation for subsequent movements such as Expressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism.
