Post Impressionism
was not a particular style of painting. It was the collective title
given to the works of a few independent artists at the end of the 19th
century. The Post Impressionists rebelled against the limitations of
Impressionism to develop a range of personal styles that influenced the
development of art in the 20th century. The major artists associated
with Post Impressionism were Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent Van Gogh and Georges Seurat.
Cézanne was an important influence on Picasso and Braque in their development of Cubism. Van Gogh's vigorous and vibrant painting technique was one of the touchstones of both Fauvism and Expressionism, while Gauguin's symbolic color and Seurat's pointillist technique were an inspiration to 'Les Fauves'.
