Analysing Visual Experience• Post Impressionism was NOT a style of Art, it is a
collective term used to describe those artists who came after the Impressionist group and were influenced by it. Two artists who extended the impressionist analysis of the visual experience of fleeting effects of light were Georges Seurat and Paul Cezanne.
• Georges Seurat developed a very “labour intensive” method of painting in small dots of pure colour, allowing the colours to mix in the eye of the viewer. His paintings took a long time to complete and have a stillness about them that is very unlike Impressionism.
• Paul Cezanne sought to “make something solid out of Impressionism”. He emphasized the three dimensional forms he saw in his subjects.
• Braque and Picasso, before embarking on their Cubist style worked in a style based on Cezanne’s paintings.
