Definition of Painting as it relates to Art, Fauvist Art, Expressionism

Post-Impressionism refers to an art movement originating in France during the late 19th century, characterized by a departure from Impressionist techniques and subject matter while retaining some of its qualities such as vivid colors and visible brushstrokes. It encompassed various styles including Pointillism, Divisionism, Symbolism, Synthetism, and Cloisonnism, which often incorporated personal emotions, symbolic content, and a focus on structure. Notable artists associated with Post-Impressionism include Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Paul Cézanne, among others. The movement significantly influenced early 20th century art movements such as Fauvism and Cubism. It served as a bridge between Impressionism and the more abstract modernist styles of the 20th century.
