Postimpresjonizm

Post-Impressionism is a predominantly French art movement that developed roughly between 1886 and 1905. It emerged as a reaction against Impressionists' concern for the naturalistic depiction of light and colour.

Post-Impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations: they continued using vivid colours, often thick application of paint, and real-life subject matter, but were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, distort form for expressive effect, and use unnatural or arbitrary colour.
