Post-Impressionism refers to an art movement that emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction against the limitations of Impressionism. Artists associated with this movement sought to express their own subjective experiences and emotions through bold colors, brushwork, and unconventional compositions.
Pointillism: A technique used by some Post-Impressionist artists where small dots or strokes of pure color are applied to create an image when viewed from a distance.
Symbolism: An artistic movement that emerged around the same time as Post-Impressionism, focusing on using symbols and metaphors to convey deeper meanings in art.
Expressionism: Another art movement that developed after Post-Impressionism, characterized by exaggerated and distorted forms meant to evoke emotional responses from viewers.
