Post-Impressionist Art

POSTIMPRESSIONIST STYLE

In the revolutionary wake of Impressionism, artists like Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne and Paul Gauguin advanced the style further while firmly rejecting its limitations. Although the artists now associated with Postimpressionist art did not work as part of a group, they collectively employed an approach to expressing moments in time that was even more abstract than that of the Impressionists, and they shared an interest in moving away from naturalistic depictions to more subjective uses of vivid colors and light in their paintings.

The eighth and final Impressionist exhibition was held in Paris in 1886, and Postimpressionism — also spelled Post-Impressionism — is usually dated between then and 1905. The term “Postimpressionism” was coined by British curator and art critic Roger Fry in 1910 at the “Manet and the Postimpressionists” exhibition in London that connected their practices to the pioneering modernist art of Édouard Manet. Many Postimpressionist artists — most of whom lived in France — utilized thickly applied, vibrant pigments that emphasized the brushstrokes on the canvas.

The Postimpressionist movement’s iconic works of art include van Gogh’s The Starry Night (1889) and Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (1884). Seurat’s approach reflected the experimental spirit of Postimpressionism, as he used Pointillist dots of color that were mixed by the eye of the viewer rather than the hand of the artist. Van Gogh, meanwhile, often based his paintings on observation, yet instilled them with an emotional and personal perspective in which colors and forms did not mirror reality. Alongside Mary Cassatt, Cézanne, Henri Matisse and Gauguin, the Dutch painter was a pupil of Camille Pissarro, the groundbreaking Impressionist artist who boldly organized the first independent painting exhibitions in late-19th-century Paris.

The boundary-expanding work of the Postimpressionist painters, which focused on real-life subject matter and featured a prioritization of geometric forms, would inspire the Nabis, German Expressionism, Cubism and other modern art movements to continue to explore abstraction and challenge expectations for art.

By Ren Hui 1

Located in Chicago, IL

Entitled "We," this exquisite woodcut by Chinese artist Ren Hui celebrates joy and the beauty of humanity with a crowd of smiling faces. Using a style he calls “uncomplicated and honest,” the artist creates beautiful compositions by carving small notches into a painted wood background. Ren Hui's artworks reflect the artist’s richness of experience - he’s been a soldier, a factory worker, and a photographer documenting life from Nanjing to Tibet. He says, “We have family, friends, ourselves, history, culture, trees, flowers, buildings, demolition—all of which are reflected in my work. This is my life.” Full of bold colors and high-contrast imagery, Ren Hui's modern pointillism...

By Gabriel Casarrubios

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Mediterranean Fishermen on Beach Coastal Scene Spanish Impressionist Oil Artist: Gabriel Casarrubios Martín (Spanish, b. 1953) Title: Mediterranean Fishermen on the Beach Medium: Oil on panel Dimensions: 22 × 27 cm (8.7 × 10.6 in) Signature: Signed lower left Date: Circa 2000 Condition: Very good original condition Frame: Unframed Description A vibrant Mediterranean coastal scene by Spanish painter Gabriel Casarrubios Martín, depicting a group of fishermen hauling their boat ashore beneath the luminous skies of the Spanish coast. Painted with energetic, confident brushwork, the composition captures the movement of the figures, the shimmering reflections of wet sand, and the atmosphere of a sunlit shoreline. Rather than focusing on minute detail, Casarrubios achieves remarkable visual impact through color, gesture, and light, creating a work that feels both spontaneous and timeless. The painting reflects the great Mediterranean tradition of Spanish coastal art, recalling the legacy of Joaquín Sorolla through its radiant palette and fascination with everyday life by the sea. Soft pinks, blues, violets, and warm earth tones merge into a harmonious composition that conveys both labor and beauty. Despite its intimate dimensions, the work possesses strong decorative presence and serves as an excellent example of contemporary Spanish Impressionist painting...
