Impressionism began in 19th century Paris and takes its name from Claude Monet's painting "Impression, Sunrise." Impressionist paintings used small, thin brush strokes to capture light and accuracy over precision. Techniques included short, thick strokes of paint applied side-by-side with little mixing to emphasize the play of natural light. Claude Monet is seen as the father of Impressionism for his plein-air landscape paintings. Post-Impressionism emerged later and focused on conveying personal responses through strong colors and slight distortions, as seen in the works of Seurat, Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Gauguin.

4. Techniques
Short, thick strokes of paint are used to quickly capture the essence of
the subject, rather than its details.
Colours are applied side-by-side with as little mixing as possible,
Grays and dark tones are produced by mixing complementary colours.
In pure Impressionism the use of black paint is avoided.
The play of natural light is emphasized. Close attention is paid to the
reflection of colours from object to object.
In paintings made en plein air (outdoors), shadows are boldly painted
with the blue of the sky as it is reflected onto surfaces, giving a sense of
freshness and openness that was not captured in painting previously.
(Blue shadows on snow inspired the technique.)

18. Post-impressionism
Postimpressionism, movement in late-19th-century
French painting that emphasized the artist’s personal
response to a subject.
Postimpressionists focused on emotional or spiritual
meanings that the subject might convey.
Postimpressionists conveyed their personal
responses to the world around them through the use
of strong, unnatural colors and exaggeration or slight
distortion of forms.

Tahiti and later in the Marquesas Islands. The essential
characteristics of his style changed little in the South Seas;
he retained the qualities of expressive color, denial of
perspective, and thick, flat forms.

Editor's Notes
captured sparkling effects of sunlight on trees and drab light of winter on snow tracked ground
Thick, swirling brushstrokes and contrasting colors charge the work with emotional intensity. Van Gogh transformed the setting of a quiet village at night into a dazzling portrait of the inherent power of the natural world.
