Post-Impressionism

Post-Impressionism was heavily influenced by the Impressionists, and many of the artists actually began working in the Impressionist style. The Post-Impressionists rejected the idea of simply recording light and color. Instead, they created more thoughtful, sometimes emotional compositions, and often used instense colors. Each Post-Impressionist artist has their own unique style, however, and no two artists share the exact same characteristics.
