Post-Impressionism
  • Differences between Impress. And Post-Impress.
  • Impressionists focused on reproducing the natural
    world but lost the use of line, shape and color
    (only reflected)
  • Post-Impressionists wanted to restore color and
    shape to art, while others wanted to restore
    subjectivity rather than painting from nature.
  • The P.I. created abstract versions of reality to
    reinforce that art is DIFFERENT from nature
    (breaking with the tradition since the
    Renaissance)

4 Techniques used by Cezanne
  1. Color patchesused to capture true colors of
    surrounding land.
  2. Varied colors warmer colors placed closer
    towards view, while cooler colors receding in
    background but did not use the theory of
    atmospheric perspective and backgrounds are flat.
  3. Multiple viewpointsnot like a camera, more real
    (Cubist)
  4. Underlying shapesrectangles, triangles, etc.
    Treat nature as a cylinder, sphere, or cone.
