Post-Impressionism

Cubism
Fauvism
Post-Impressionism
 A predominantly French art movement that developed roughly between 1886
and 1905, which was from the last Impressionist exhibition up to the birth
of Fauvism. can encompass sub-movements such as Neo-
Impressionism, Symbolism, Cloisonnism, and Synthetism.

 The Post-Impressionist era began as painters attempted to break free from

Impressionism and find new ways to express emotion. Impressionist paintings were
often done alla prima, meaning that they were painted outdoors, with little or no
alterations being made later in a studio setting. Because of the alla prima painting
style, the number of landscape paintings increased throughout this time.

Post-Impressionism
 The movement was led by Paul Cézanne (the father of Post-impressionism), Paul
Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, and Henri
Rousseau-formed the Post-Impressionists.

 The movement emerged as a reaction against Impressionism and its concern for

the naturalistic depiction of light and color. The artists in this movement
continued using vivid colors, a thick application of paint and real-life subject
matter, but were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, distort forms for
an expressive effect and use unnatural and seemingly random colors.

Fauvism
 Fauvism, style of painting that flourished in France around the turn of
the 20th century. Fauve artists used pure, brilliant colour aggressively
applied straight from the paint tubes to create a sense of an explosion
on the canvas

 Henri Matisse did not seem like one to rock the boat. Serious, intelligent,
and embarking on a promising career after studying law in Paris, his
path in life appeared entirely bourgeois. When his mother gave him art
supplies to help him recover from an illness, however, he was, in his
words, “bitten by the demon of painting.”
Fauvism
 The tone of this statement is fitting for an artist who was
responsible for the first avant-garde European art movement of
the 20th century, Fauvism, the name of which means “wild
beasts.” To a contemporary eye, the intensely colorful landscape
and portrait paintings of the Fauvists, often characterized by a
rough application of paint rendered directly from the tube,
might read as more joyful and celebratory than savage in their
bright, non-naturalistic hues and energetic vitality—but these
were very different times.
Fauvism
 And as with some other avant-garde styles, Fauvism
acquired its name through an insult. Reviewing the 1905 Salon
d’Automne art exhibition in Paris—an annual, independent
showcase of progressive art—the renowned art critic Louis
Vauxcelles (who later coined the term Cubism) found the
brushwork by Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck,
Charles Camoin, Georges Rouault, and certain other artists
displayed at the salon that year to be coarse and untamed, with
an “orgy of colors.” The name “fauve” would become a badge
of honor for the artists
