Post-Impressionism

Post-Impressionism is an art movement that emerged in the late 19th century, building on the techniques of Impressionism but emphasizing more personal expression and emotional depth. While Impressionists focused on capturing light and everyday moments, Post-Impressionists, like Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne, used bold colors, dramatic forms, and symbolic content to convey their feelings and ideas. This shift towards expressing inner emotions paved the way for later movements like Expressionism, which further explored the representation of human experience and emotion, often prioritizing subjective interpretation over realistic representation.
