Collection: Post-Impressionist Art

Post-Impressionism is an art movement that emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction to Impressionism. It refers to the work of a group of artists who sought to expand upon the principles of Impressionism by incorporating more structured compositions, bolder use of color and line, and deeper symbolic and emotional content. Post-Impressionist artists like Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Georges Seurat, and Henri Rousseau, were heavily influenced by Impressionism, but sought to challenge its emphasis on the representation of light and movement. Post-Impressionist works often feature more vivid color, thicker paint application, and greater contrast between light and dark, and can express the artists' emotional responses to the world around them.
