  1. Post-Impressionism

  2. Post-Impressionism Post-Impressionist styles derived from their forerunners’ breakthroughs. They wanted to express their emotions through color and light.

  3. Seurat • Created a quasi-scientific method called “Pointalism” • It consisted of applying confetti sized dots of pure, un-mixed color over the whole canvas • This was to fuse together like a mosaic from a distance, but the specks never really do merge.

  8. Seurat • For him warm colors meant action and gaiety, as did lines moving upward. • Dark, cool colors and decending lines evoked sadness. • Middle tones (balance of cool and warm) and lateral lines conveyed calm.

  9. Toulouse-Letrec • He is credited with creating poster and lithography as respectable art mediums. • He specialized in portraying movement and private moments through slice of life glimpses. • Almost always interior night scenes lit by glaring artificial light.

  15. The Card Players by Cezanne (sold in 2011 for $256 Million)

  16. Gauguin • Prosperous Parisian stockbroker before he took up Sunday painting in 1873 • Goal was “to return painting it’s primal emotion and imagination • Flattened forms, used saturated color arbitrarily for emotional impact, and above all- presented his subjective response to reality.

  17. Gauguin • Often went without meals for days in a row because he lacked the funds to buy food. • Without money for material Gauguin still painted, using thin paint on coarse sacking instead. • Later work was deeply inspired by Tahitian culture.

  18. Tahitian Women on the Beach by Gauguin

  19. Van Gogh • When Van Gogh saw Impressionism in Paris his art work radically changed. • He switched from dark to bright colors and from social realist themes to light-drenched outdoor scenes.

  20. Olive Trees by Van Gogh

  21. Van Gogh • He produced 800 paintings and as many drawings in 10 years. • Van Gogh never received recognition for his work and only sold one painting during his lifetime. • He was a patient in an asylum when he produced Starry Night.

  22. Van Gogh • “…the day will come when it will be seen that they are worth more than the price of the colors they are painted with, and of my life which in general is pretty barren.”
