Post Impressionism

Post-impressionism is the term used to describe the development of French art since Manet. It was a British artist and art centric Roger Fry who invented this term whilst he was organizing an exhibition Manet and the post impressionists in 1910. post Impressionists went beyond limitations. Vivid colours continues to be used and paint was applied in thick layers, and "real life subject matter". However geometric forms were mostly emphasized to change the meaning of expression and to random colour mainly unnatural.
Post Impressionists were not impressed by the lack of detail and unimportant subjects that Impressionists portrayed in their paintings. Pointillism was created by Georges Seurat who used tiny dots of colour systematically to create art. In order to "make the  Impressionism something solid and durable like the art of the museums" Paul Cezanne was one artist who tried to restore a form of "order and structure to painting". This aim was attained by converting objects to their simple shape however allowing the use of the exclusive combined colours of Impressionism

Camille Picasso, an Impressionist investigated Pointillism after he was dissatisfied by what he described as romantic Impressionism. He referred to Pointillism as "scientific Impressionism" . After experimenting with Neo-Impressionist ideas He returned to Impressionism in the last tn years of his life.

Artist Vincent Van Gogh conveyed his feelings and state of mind by using vibrant and colourful swirls of brush strokes. Even though Pot Impressionists artists often had exhibitions where their works were combined and shown together these artists disagreed on a 'cohesive movement'. The 1890s and early 20th century saw young painters work in completely different regions around the world and in many different styles and categories such as Fauvism and Cubism.
