Post-Impressionism is a movement in France that represented both an
extension of Impressionism and a rejection of that style's inherent
limitations. The term Post-Impressionism was coined by the English
art critic Roger Fry for the work of such late 19th-century
painters as Paul Cezanne, Georges Seurat, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van
Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and others. Most of these painters
began as Impressionists; each of them abandoned the style, however,
to form his own highly personal art. Impressionism was based, in
its strictest sense, on the objective recording of nature in terms
of the fugitive effects of colour and light. The
Post-Impressionists rejected this limited aim in favour of more
ambitious expression, admitting their debt, however, to the pure,
brilliant colours of Impressionism, its freedom from traditional
subject matter, and its technique of defining form with short
brushstrokes of broken colour. The work of these painters formed a
basis for several contemporary trends and for early 20th-century
modernism.
