Post-Impressionism
A general name for various searches beyond immediate impression.
Key ideas
Cezanne explored the structure of form and space, Van Gogh - the expressiveness of brushwork and color, Gauguin - convention and symbolic connections. Seurat developed a systematic separation of colors. These artists do not form a single school with a common technique.
Looking deeper
The term helps to collate the answers to the questions left by impressionism. However, it can hide differences. Talk about a specific work: how the plans are arranged, lines are repeated, local color and emotional impression are correlated.
Cezanne, still lifes with apples; Van Gogh, "Wheat field with cypress trees."
