Post-impressionism (1 jan 1886 ano – 1 jan 1905 ano)

Descrição:

Breaking free of the naturalism of Impressionism in the late 1880s, a group of young painters sought independent artistic styles for expressing emotions rather than simply optical impressions, concentrating on themes of deeper symbolism. Through the use of simplified colors and definitive forms, their art was characterized by a renewed aesthetic sense as well as abstract tendencies. Roger Fry (1866–1934), critic and artist, coined the term “Post-Impressionists,” in 1910.
