Post-Impressionism
An artwork-by-artwork guide to Post-Impressionism, about 1884–1910, compiled from museum collection records.
Post-Impressionism was never one style. From the mid-1880s, painters who had learned from the Impressionists pushed past recording light: some toward structure and color science, others toward emotion, symbol and decoration. This section follows them through seventy-four works, from Seurat, Cézanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin to the Nabis, the Symbolists and painters across Europe, with the facts of each object drawn from museum collection records.
