Post-Impressionism

Post-Impressionism: The artistic style that followed Impressionism.

The term was coined by British art critic, "Roger Fry".

Post-Impressionists looked for new ways of expressing colour.

Post-Impressionist artists included: Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Gauguin. Post-Impressionism is the term coined by the British artist and art critic Roger Fry in 1910, to describe the development of European art since Manet. John Rewald, one of the first professional art historians to focus on the birth of early modern art, limited the scope to the years between 1886 and 1892 in his pioneering publication on Post-Impressionism: From Van Gogh to Gauguin (1956): Rewald considered it to continue his History of Impressionism (1946), and pointed out that a "subsequent volume dedicated to the second half of the post-impressionist period" - Post-Impressionism: From Gauguin to Matisse - was to follow, extending the period covered to other artistic movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries to artistic movements based on or derived from Impressionism.
