Post-Impressionism was primarily a French art movement, which emerged around 1886 with the last Impressionist exhibition and ended approximately in 1905 with the advent of Fauvism. Post-Impressionism developed as a reaction to the Impressionists focus on the naturalistic depiction of color and light. In the art of George Seurat for example, there was a concentration on scientifically oriented theories about color and form. Paul Gauguin, however, was engaged in creating lush symbolism in his paintings. Regardless of the artist, the Post-Impressionists were very intent on portraying the subjective vision of each painter. The movement therefore brought in an era of painting which transcended its traditional focus on being a window to the world, and instead became a window to the soul and mind of the individual artists. Join us in this docent-led talk and discover the artists of Post-Impressionism.
