Post-Impressionism is an umbrella term, coined by art critic Roger Fry,
used to describe a variety of artists who were influenced by
Impressionism
but took their art in different directions. There is no single well-defined
style of Post-Impressionism, but in general it is less casual and more
emotionally charged than Impressionist work. The classic Post-Impressionists are
Paul Cézanne,
Paul Gauguin,
Vincent van Gogh,
Georges Seurat,
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and
Henri Rousseau.
The
Pointillists
and Les Nabis
are also generally counted among the Post-Impressionists.
