POST-IMPRESSIONISM

Four major Post Impressionist painters, and the aspects of Impressionism that they criticized and how those criticisms were reflected in their work: Vincent van Gogh

Instead of reproducing the colors exactly as he saw them before his eyes, as Impressionists did, he explored the capabilities of colors and distorted forms to express his emotions as he confronted nature.

Paul GauguinHe rejected objective representation in favor or subjective expression. Unlike the Impressionists but like van Gogh, he believed color above all must be expressive.

Georges SeuratHe was less concerned with the recording of immediate color sensations than he was with their careful and systematic organization into a new kind of pictorial order.

Paul CézanneHe felt that Impressionism lacked form and structure. His objective was to create a lasting structure behind the formless and fleeting visual information the eye absorbs.

Application of paint:The thickness, shape, and direction of his brush strokes create a tactile counterpart to his intense color schemes. He moved the brush vehemently back and forth or at right angles, or squeezed dots or streaks onto the canvas from a paint tube.

Georges SeuratA Sunday on La Grande Jatte1884-1886oil on canvas6 ft. 9 in. x 10 ft.

The French painter who used the work of color theorists like Chevreul and Rood to develop a scientifically precise method of applying paint was Georges Seurat.The technique did he develop for applying color to canvas was called Pointillism (or divisionism): the separation of carefully observed colors into their component parts. The artist applies these pure component colors to the canvas in tiny dots or daubs. The shapes on the canvas become comprehensible only from a distance, where the viewer’s eye blends the dots.

SYMBOLISM“avant-garde”

“Front guard,” a synonym for any particularly new or cutting-edge cultural manifestation, derived from nineteenth-century French military usage where the avant-garde were soldiers sent ahead of the army’s main body to reconnoiter and make occasional raids on the enemy.

Avant-garde refers to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics.

Pierre Puvis de ChavannesThe Sacred Grove1884oil on canvas2 ft. 11 1/2 in. x 6 ft. 10 in.

By the end of the nineteenth century, a major change occurred in the artist's vision of reality:The representation of nature had become completely subjectivized to the point that artists did not imitate nature but created free interpretations of it.

Puvis de Chavannes was admired by members of the Academy because of his classicism while the avant-garde artists admired him because of his vindication of imagination and artistic independence from the world of materialism and the machine.
