2. After the brief yet highly influential period of
impressionism, an outgrowth movement known as
post-impressionism emerged. The European artists
who were at the forefront of this movement
continued using the basic qualities of the
impressionists before them—the vivid colors,
heavy brush strokes, and true-to-life subjects.
However, they expanded and experimented with
these in bold new ways, like using a geometric
approach, fragmenting objects and distorting people’s
faces and body parts, and applying colors that were
not necessarily realistic or natural.

Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was a
French artist and post-
impressionist painter. His work
exemplified the transition from late
19th-century impressionism to a new
and radically different world of art in
the 20th century—paving the way for
the next revolutionary art movement
known as expressionism.
