	POSTIMPRESSIONISM,
		Seurat is considered a postimpressionist because he used the color technique of the impressionists as a means of achieving structural unity in his work.
		Although the postimpressionists based their styles of painting on the color innovations of impressionism, they reacted against the naturalistic accuracy of impressionism and its attempt to depict light.
		Other movements in 20th-century art, such as surrealism and futurism, as well as cubism, expressionism, and Fauvism, are referred to as postimpressionist because they developed as a result partly of the freedom achieved for the artist by impressionism and partly of a new emphasis upon mental conception in art.

		The most important Postimpressionists were Paul Gauguin, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), Georges Seurat (1859-1891), Maurice Denis (1870-1943), Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901).
		The circus motif is incidentally typical of the images chosen by the age, and the enigmatic, alienated, slightly decadent expression of the figures can be compared, for example, to Toulouse-Lautrec’s paintings and Degas’ monotypes from entertainment establishments and brothels in Paris.
		In general one can say of the Postimpressionists that they condensed and structured features from Impressionism, and released colour so they could also paint what was not visible.

	Edvard Munch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Munch traveled to Paris in 1885, and his work began to show the influence of French painters — first of the impressionists, and then of the postimpressionists and of art nouveau design.
		While stylistically influenced by the postimpressionists, Munch's subject matter is symbolist in content, depicting a state of mind rather than an external reality.
		Munch maintained that the impressionism idiom did not suit his art.

		Monet painted many series of the same subject at different times of day so that the character of light became his subject and the forms of objects seemed to dissolve, as in the series of Rouen Cathedral.
		The interests and attitudes of these painters influenced the postimpressionists Cézanne, Seurat, Gauguin, and Van Gogh.
		At first, with a few exceptions, the works of the impressionist and postimpressionist schools were received with hostility from critics and public alike.

	Van Gogh
		In Europe, meanwhile, other postimpressionists were making use of the discoveries of the impressionists but were carrying the movement further in various directions.
		One of these was Vincent van Gogh, a Hollander, who in his short and troubled life left a large number of exciting paintings.
		By applying the pigment so that each stroke is visible, he gives the forms a feeling of life and energy, and the room is transformed into a thing of vibrant wonder.

	Gogh, Vincent van -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		One of the four great Postimpressionists (along with Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat, and Paul Cézanne), Vincent van Gogh is generally considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt.
		His reputation is based largely on the works of the last three years of his short ten-year painting career, and he had a powerful influence on expressionism in modern art.

	Past Exhibitions \| 2002 \| Fairfield Porter: Familiar Spaces
		Yet Porter's oeuvre and his devotion to abstracted yet recognizable figural and landscape painting are reflected in a parallel and historically significant group of American painters that includes Alex Katz, Jane Freilicher, and Larry Rivers.
		Porter has been named an "intimist" for his admiration for the work of French postimpressionists Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard, whose paintings of the private and personal domestic arena reflected the French middle class and their interest in pushing the impressionist painters' abstraction even further.
		While Porter's admiration for Vuillard and his personal background are established art historical territory, it may be useful to remember that he shared the postimpressionists' visual ideologies for subject matter, light treatment, and the abstract expressionists' painterly manipulation of form and surface.

		“Though unique in their styles, postimpressionists were united in their desire to know and depict worlds other than the visible world of fact.
		[Postimpressionists] in Paris derived many of their ideas and developed their projections from the same intellectual and artistic material. This material was the legacy of Cubism and, in particular the work of Apollinaire and Picasso.” (Realism, Rationalism, 61)
		The effects of World War I were not limited to the realm of expression but extended into other areas which impact art.

	Art Periods: POSTIMPRESSIONISM in France
		It would be a mistake to view the postimpressionists as simply rejecting their impressionist heritage; rather, they accepted the revolutionary impact of impressionism and went on to explore new aesthetic ideas, many of which grew out of concepts implicit in impressionism.
		Another connecting link between most of the postimpressionists -- with the notable exception of Cézanne -- was a common emphasis on surface pattern, a trait that led many contemporary critics to use the term decorative to describe postimpressionist pictures.
		Finally, the other-worldliness of the postimpressionist symbolists (see symbolism, art), such as Redon, together with the distorted lines of Art Nouveau in the works of Toulouse-Lautrec and other contemporaries, fostered a growing tendency toward abstract art that was to prove essential to nonfigurative developments in painting after 1910.

		Impressionism and postimpressionism ran their course and produced aesthetic revolution from within and without, putting hosts of painters to come greatly in its debt.

		He was born in Moscow and he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Germany.
		His early paintings were executed in a naturalistic style, but in 1909, after a trip to Paris during which he was highly impressed by the works of the Fauvists and postimpressionists, his paintings became more highly colored and loosely organized.
		In 1910 he created what is considered the first totally abstract work in modern art, a watercolor entitled Composition I or Abstraction, an arrangement in blue, red, and green that makes no reference to objects of the physical world and derives its inspiration and title from music.

		Although the intense emotional expressiveness of his work placed the artist squarely in the midst of the general romantic outpouring of European art, he always remained an individual phenomenon and did not create a school.
		As a personality and as a painter, he was admired by the impressionists, postimpressionists, and symbolists who came after him.
		These devices were developed further by the impressionists and postimpressionists.

		Vladimir became a wonderful successor to the Great Russian landscape painters such as Levitan, Vasiliev, Plastov, Korovin, etc. His main motive is to continue in the tradition started by another genius of Soviet landscape painting of the 60’s and 70’s — A. Stozharova.
		The paintings of Vladimir Pentjukh are reminiscent of the French impressionists and postimpressionists works (Monet, Sisley, Pissaro, Van Gogh, Cézanne).
		This is manifested in his focus on the relationship between colors, light land shades on plein air.

	Small French Paintings at the National Gallery of Art
		Postimpressionism is a catchall label that has been applied to a number of artists whose work had impressionism at its roots.
		Many of these artists exhibited in the impressionist exhibitions, among them Paul Cézanne, Georges Seurat, and Paul Gauguin, but the postimpressionists gradually came to reject the impulse toward naturalism that had been a driving force behind impressionism.
		Cézanne replaced the irregularity of his impressionist brushwork with systematized notations that describe underlying form rather than momentary surface appearance.

		A relatively short-lived movement in French painting (1905 - 1910), that revolutionized the concept of color in modern art.
		The Fauves rejected the impressionist palette of soft, shimmering tones in favor of the violent colors used by the postimpressionists Paul Gauguin and Vincent Can Gogh for expressive emphasis.
		They achieved a poetic energy through vigorous line, simplified yet dramatic surface pattern, and intense color.

		November 18: Paul-Henri Bourguignon born in Brussels, Belgium, the son of a Flemish mother and a Walloon father.
		Begins to paint, at first under Armand DePauw, then with A.-T. Bastien (1873-1955), a well-known, well-traveled Postimpressionist landscape painter, director of the Académie de Bruxelles and member of the Académie Royale des Beaux Arts.
		While initially heavily influenced by the Impressionists and Postimpressionists, he is increasingly drawn to the work of the Flemish Expressionists, with their emphasis on form, and the French Fauves, with their stress on color; in this way he develops his own very personal synthesis.

		He is working with ideas of representation, time's passage and remembrance.
		However, unlike the Postimpressionists, it's a project he intends to continue through the rest of his life, and in that regard it is highly ambitious.
		The Dutchman, perhaps somewhat like his fellow countryman Van Gogh, has reinvigorated this particular genre with both an emotional depth as well as a conceptual rigour ("to paint one portrait a day until the end of days").
