Neo-impressionism developed in France in the late 19th century as painters experimented with compositions made of small dots of pure color. Key figures included Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Post-impressionism emerged afterwards as an extension of impressionism that sought to convey more emotion through color and brushwork while retaining realistic themes. Leading post-impressionist artists were Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Paul Cézanne. Lautrec's painting "Dancing at the Moulin Rouge" from 1890 depicts dancers at the famous club, with characters looking on in the background.

Neo-impressionism appeared in
France at the end of the 19th
century. In this period some
painters experienced with
compositions made with dots of
pure colour.
Some important painters of this
period were Paul Signac and
Georges Seurat.

4. POURTRAIT OF
FÉLIX FÉNÉON
This painting is the
portrait of Félix
Fénéon, painted by
Paul Signac in 1890.

5. It is painted with the most characteristic technique in this period, pointillism.
This is oil on canvas. At present this portrait is located in The National
Gallery of Art in Washington DC
Félix Fénéon was an art dealer, collector, political activist, critic, and
Signac's friend who shared the artist's interests in science and Japanese
prints. On this painting Signac depicts this unconventional and enigmatic
personality with his characteristic chin, holding a top hat and a walking stick
in one hand and a flower in the other one. Combining figuration and
abstraction, he sets Fénéon's static profile against a swirling background, a
kaleidoscopic portrait of optical theorist Charles Henry's recently published
color wheel.
Maybe, the stars in the lower rigth corner, are connected to the interest that
Felix Fénéon had about the United States.

6. POST-IMPRESSIONISM
Post-impressionism is a term
used to express the artistic period
that appeared after Neo-
impressionism. It developed in the
last decades of the 19th century.
Post-impressionism was an
extension of impressionism and at
the same time it was a rejection of
its limitations. In this period they
still used very colorful paints,
peculiar brushwork and realistic
themes, but they tried to transmit
more emotions.
Some of the most famous
painters of this period were: Paul
Gauguin, Henry de Toulouse-
Lautrec, Vincent Van Gogh and
Paul Cézanne.
