Topic: Post-Impressionist



  
 Impressionistic and Post
Post Impressionism was not one of those smear-words such as Impressionism or Fauvism, invented by witty French journalists on first seeing the works of the artists concerned, words which caught the public imagination and were subsequently accepted and used by the artists themselves.
The Impressionists admired the new city for its modern appearance, and felt that it was an atmosphere ideal for painting.
Certainly many of the freedoms the Impressionists had fought for in the 1806 and 1870s in terms of paint application, colour, choice of subject and working procedure became part of the artist's stock in trade in the 1880.

 Post Impressionism
He exhibited with the impressionists in the 1870s, and in 1883 gave up his job to pursue painting full-time (this decision left his wife and 5 children with little money, so his wife left him to live with her mother).
Unlike the Impressionists, he chose his colors almost arbitrarily, painting not what he sees but what he feels.
Though the impressionists differed in personal styles and favorite subjects, one thing which was consistent between the artists was their interest in the transitory effects of light and spontaneous compositions.

 art is dead - modern art - post-impressionism
In 1886, with the final decline of the Impressionists, the Post-Impressionists surfaced as the primary art movement in Paris.
Although the movement lasted less than a decade, the Impressionist school had indirectly challenged and inspired their successors (the Post-Impressionists) to venture into new artistic expression similar to the way they had.
When they emerged however, they did not support the Impressionists naturalistic form as the Impressionists may have wanted, but the Post-Impressionists ironically rejected their teachings in the same way that the Impressionists had done.

 post-impressionism
There is no question about impressionistic art anymore, because the artist did not paint the quick impression anymore.
He got inspired by the methods of the impressionist (specially the use of colors) and soon after he decided to move to the south of France, to Arles.
Because of the style of painting he used during the last period of his life and the energetically expression of his work, van Gogh is called the father of the expressionism.

Although the Impressionists were respected as serious artists by the mid-1880s, a group of their followers believed that too many traditional aspects of painting were being ignored.
The advent of photography gave realistic painting an insurmountable obstacle, but, fortunately, the Impressionists and their successors succeeded in changing the ideas in painting to impressions rather than pictures.
These artists, many of whom began their careers exhibiting with the Impressionists, conducted a more systematic exploration of three-dimensional space and lines.

 POSTIMPRESSIONISM
After exhibiting with the Impressionists in 1886, Gauguin renounced “the abominable error of naturalism.” With the young painter Émile Bernard, Gauguin sought a simpler truth and purer aesthetic in art; turning away from the sophisticated, urban art world of Paris, he instead looked for inspiration in rural communities with more traditional values.
All of these painters except van Gogh were French, and most of them began as Impressionists; each of them abandoned the style, however, to form his own highly personal art.
Cézanne painted in isolation at Aix-en-Provence in southern France; his solitude was matched by that of Paul Gauguin, who in 1891 took up residence in Tahiti, and of van Gogh, who painted in the countryside at Arles.

 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.
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.
ézanne had belonged to the impressionist movement, but he withdrew (1878) from it because he wanted to create a style that he described as more "solid and durable." Working in isolation in Aix-en-Provence during the 1880s and '90s, he evolved a new concept of space that was of fundamental importance to 20th-century painting.

 Global Gallery - Knowledge Center - Post-Impressionism
Roger Fry coined "Post-Impressionism" as the title of an exhibition at the Grafton Galleries, London, in 1910-1911: Manet and the Post-Impressionists.
The limitations that the Post-Impressionists saw were basically founded in the Impressionists concern and devotion to naturalism and the momentary effects of lighting.
Post-Impressionists, while also preoccupied with the uses of color, were seeking both a more expressive use of color and like Georges Seurat, a somewhat scientific analysis of color.

By the late 1880's the Impressionists were seen as serious artists and their paintings were no longer regarded as crude and unfinished works as they once were.
All of these artists had accepted the Impressionist methods and never rejected the new and brighter palette, they didn't seek to undo the effects of Impressionism, rather they sought to carry it further, thus making this period of art history a later stage of Impressionism.
Many of the painters and their young followers were becoming dissatisfied with the limitations of the style and felt that too many traditional elements of picture making were being neglected.

A classic example of his painting during this period is The House of the Hanged Man, (1873-4).

 Art/Auctions: Impressionist & Post Impressionists Christies Nov. 8, 1999
No Impressionist sale would be complete, of course, without some works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) and this sale has several of high quality.
The nicest is an 11 3/8-by-5 1/8-inch oil of canvas, entitled "Baigneuse debout, s'essuyant les cheveux." This small female nude, which was possibly painted as early as 1869, is quite lovely and presages much of his later famous brushwork and it is estimated a bit conservatively at $700,000 to $900,000.
This exceeding vibrant and colorful work is one of the artist's series of depictions of actors and is appropriately estimated at $2,500,000 to $3,500,000.

The familiarity of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings today (reproduced on greetings cards, calendars and note pads) makes it hard for us to appreciate how radical the work of Manet, Pissarro, Degas, Monet, Renoir, Lautrec and their colleagues first appeared.
The term Post-Impressionism, however, is an extremely loose label applied primarily to Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Lautrec and Seurat, but often used to describe other progressive artists after the great decade of Impressionism (1870-80), such as Matisse or Bonnard.
The Impressionist's major preoccupations were with the perception and recording of light and color.

The result of post-impressionism was a stripping away of conventions even the impressionists had used, such as linear perspective, in favor of emphasis on simplified structure of forms, and use of pure color.
By the 1890s, the impressionists were accepted by critics and public alike as serious artists.
Many artists who had started in impressionism in the 1870s, and many younger followers of the impressionists began to feel that the rigid insistence in impressionism on depicting a fleeting moment in time in terms of light and color neglected traditional aspects of painting such as psychological depth and formal structure.
