Post Impressionism

As the name implies, the Post Impressionism art movement followed on

from Impressionism. As well as being a logical extension of that earlier
movement, it was in many ways a rejection of Impressionism's
impersonality and strict concern with the effects of light and color. The
Post Impressionism art movement was more interested in a very personal
and spiritual form of self expression.

The term Post Impressionism was first coined by the English art critic
Roger Fry, in reference to the work of some of the leading exponents of
the Post Impressionism Art Movement, such as Vincent Van Gogh, Paul
Cezanne, Paul Gauguin and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
The Post Impressionism art movement was not a tight community of
artists like Impressionism had been, but was made up of artists often
working in isolation in regions that held their particular interest. Cezanne
worked alone in the South of France in Aix-en-Provence, Van Gogh
painted his surroundings in Arles and Paul Gauguin moved to Tahiti,
where he developed his exotic and colorful images of the Tahitians.
