Description
Post-Impressionism Beyond Appearances by Flaminio Gualdoni explores the art movement that emerged in France as a response to Impressionism. This pivotal moment saw artists such as Cézanne, Seurat, Gauguin, and van Gogh break away from traditional techniques to create highly personal works. The Post-Impressionists rejected the limited aim of objective recording found in Impressionism, instead embracing more ambitious expression. Their work retained the pure colours and freedom from subject matter that defined Impressionism, but also introduced new forms of definition through short brushstrokes of broken colour. This book provides a comprehensive look at the Post-Impressionist movement, its key figures, and its lasting impact on modern art.
