post-Impressionism
post-Im·pres·sion·ism (also Post-Im·pres·sion·ism) • n. the work or style of a varied group of late 19th-century and early 20th-century artists including Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Cézanne. They reacted against the naturalism of the Impressionists to explore color, line, and form, and the emotional response of the artist, a concern that led to the development of expressionism. DERIVATIVES: post-Im·pres·sion·ist n. & adj. post-Im·pres·sion·is·tic adj. |
