POST-IMPRESSIONISM
YOUR EYES, YOUR HEART, YOUR VISION!
After Impressionism changed how artists saw light, a new wave of painters pushed even further. Post-Impressionists kept the bright colour of Monet and Renoir but added something deeper: personal emotion and strong structure. They did not just record what they saw outdoors. They painted how the world felt inside their minds. Vincent van Gogh swirled skies with passion. Paul Cézanne studied apples and mountains until he found hidden geometry. These artists trusted their inner vision over polite rules. From about 1880 to 1910, Post-Impressionism spread across Europe and opened the door to modern art.
⚡ DID YOU KNOW?
The term Post-Impressionism was coined by art critic Roger Fry for a famous 1910 exhibition in London that showed Van Gogh, Cézanne and others to a wide audience.
