According to literature,
the stylistic innovation in painting known as Post- Impressionism began in the 1880’s. Unlike the Impressionism, the Post-Impressionism did not concentrate on the play of
light over objects, people, and nature, breaking up
seemingly solid surfaces, stressing vivid
contrast between colors in sunlight and
shade, and depiction reflected light inall of its possibilities. Instead, the
new style wanted to depict what they saw
in nature by pursuing a more personal
and spiritual expression. The
Post-Impressionists did not want to
observe the world from indoors. Like
earlier Impressionists, they abandoned the
studio, painting in the
open air and recording spontaneous
impressions of their subjects
instead of making outside sketches and
then moving indoors to
complete the work form memory.

Post-Impressionism was a
movement in France that not only represented an extension of.Impressionism, but also
a rejection of that style’s inherent limitations. Of all the
painters in the Post-Impressionism,
Paul Cézanne, Georges Seurat, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van
Gogh, and Henri de
Toulouse-Lautrec are the most famous ones.

The Post-Impressionists
often presented their workstogether, but, unlike the
Impressionists,who began as a close-knit,
convivial group, they painted mainly alone. Cézanne painted
in.solation in southern
France; his solitude was matched by that
of Paul Gauguin, who in 1891.took up residence in Tahiti, and of van
Gogh, who painted in the
countryside at Arles. Both Gauguin and van Gogh rejected the
indifferent objectivity of Impressionism in
favour of amore personal,
spiritual expression. In 1 886,
Gauguin renounced “the abominable
error of naturalism.” Also, Gauguin
sought a simpler truth and purer aesthetic in art;turning
away from the sophisticated, urban art world
of Paris, he instead
looked for
inspiration in rural communities with more
traditional values. The Dutch
painter van Gogh quickly adapted Impressionist techniques and color to
express his acutely felt
emotions after his arrival inParis. But later, he conveyed his
emotionally charged and ecstatic responses to the natural and
scape bytransforming the contrasting short brush strokes of
Impressionism into curving,vibrant lines of
color, exaggerated even beyond Impressionist
brilliance.

The Post-Impressionism
not only led away from a naturalistic
approach but also developed the two major movements
of early 20th-century:Cubism and
Fauvism. Therefore, the works of the Post-Impressionists
could be called as a basis for several contemporary trends and
for early 20th-century modernism. |
