POST-IMPRESSIONISM
Post-Impressionism, in Western painting, is a movement originated in France. It
represented both an extension of
Impressionism and a rejection of
that style’s inherent limitations.
The term Post-Impressionism
was coined by the English art
critic Roger Fry for the work of
such late 19th-century painters
as Paul Cézanne, Georges Seurat,
Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh,
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and
others. All of these painters except van Gogh were French, and most of them began as
Impressionists; each of them abandoned the style, however, to form his own highly
personal art.
Impressionism was based on the objective recording of nature in terms of the fugitive
effects of colour and light. The Post-Impressionists rejected this limited aim in favour
of more ambitious expression, admitting their debt, however, to the pure, brilliant
colours of Impressionism, its freedom from traditional subject matter, and its
technique of defining form with short brushstrokes of broken colour.

After a phase of uneasy dissension among the Impressionists, Paul Cézanne withdrew
from the movement in 1878 in order “to make of Impressionism something solid and
durable like the art of the museums.” In contrast to the passing show depicted by the
Impressionists, his approach imbued landscape and still life with a monumental
permanence and coherence.
The Post-Impressionists often exhibited together, but, unlike the Impressionists, they
painted mainly alone. Cézanne painted in isolation at Aix-en-Provence 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 a more personal, spiritual expression. After exhibiting with the Impressionists in
1886, Gauguin renounced “the abominable error of naturalism.” He 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.
Copying the pure, flat colour, heavy outline, and decorative quality of medieval stained
glass and manuscript illumination, he explored the expressive potential of pure colour
and line, Gauguin especially using exotic and sensuous colour harmonies to create
poetic images of the Tahitians among whom he would eventually live. Arriving in Paris
in 1886, the Dutch painter van Gogh quickly adapted Impressionist techniques and
colour to express his acutely felt emotions. He transformed the contrasting short
brushstrokes of Impressionism into curving, vibrant lines of colour, exaggerated even
beyond Impressionist brilliance, that convey his emotionally charged and ecstatic
responses to the natural landscape.
