The New Modern: The Post-Impressionists

In the final installment of our Impressionism primer, we meet the artists who broke away from light and surface to paint something deeper. From Van Gogh’s turbulent skies to Gauguin’s mythic Tahitian scenes, Cézanne’s geometric still lifes to Seurat’s scientific dots, the Post-Impressionists transformed 19th-century visual experiments into something stranger, bolder, and more modern. We’ll also drop in to Montmartre with Toulouse-Lautrec, and look ahead to the influence these artists had on the Fauves, the Cubists, and even American modernists.
