Post-Impressionism was primarily a French art movement, which emerged around 1886. This coincided 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 intent on portraying the subjective vision of each painter. Van Gogh's work definitely became a forerunner to Expressionism, while Cezanne experimented with the fracturing of the picture plane. The movement therefore brought in an era of painting which transcended its traditional focus on being a window to the world, and instead became an opening to the soul and mind of the individual artist.
