This presentation discusses Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Impressionism focused on capturing light and visual aspects of art through short brush strokes and muted colors. Key Impressionist artists mentioned include Monet, Degas, and Renoir. Post-Impressionism was a reaction against Impressionism, with artists like Cézanne, Gauguin, Seurat, and Van Gogh developing individual styles and exploring both the physical world and inner spirit through brighter colors and defined outlines. In conclusion, the presentation provides an overview of these two influential art movements from the late 19th century.
