Subsequently, many painters developed their individual aesthetic style outside of Paris. While Paris was unquestionably the fount of Post-Impressionism, the emphasis on symbolic and expressive content meant that the life of the city no longer was the dominant subject for artists. Gauguin and Seurat both detested one another and shared a low opinion of each other’s styles, and while van Gogh revered the work of the Impressionist Edgar Degas and fellow Post-Impressionist Henri Rousseau, he was skeptical of Cezanne’s rigorously ordered style. Indeed, many of the movement’s foremost figures were rivals in method and approach. Eventually these dissenting artists became known as the Post-Impressionists, a term that grouped together widely varying individual artistic styles. They felt the Impressionists allowed their preoccupations with technique and the effects of natural light to overshadow the importance of subject matter. By the last Impressionist exhibition in 1886, younger artists and critics demanded a shift in the focus of the representational arts. Among them was Paul Cezanne, who exhibited with the Impressionists during the 1870s and early 1880s. Although the core membership consisted of Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas, many other artists associated with the group. The critic Louis Leroy derisively dubbed their style of painting “Impressionist” because of the visible brushstrokes, and unwittingly gave the group their collective identity. This was achieved in the painting Impression, Sunrise (1872), in which Monet used each visible brushstroke to record exactly how the light from the sun fell upon the steamships and water below. Post-Impressionism Beginnings Impressionism and the Rise of Post-Impressionism In 1872, Claude Monet radically altered the path of painting, ushering in a revolutionary mode of visual expression in which artists responded to their modern surroundings. The far-reaching aesthetic impact of the Post-Impressionists influenced groups that arose during the turn of the twentieth century, like the Expressionists, as well as more contemporary movements, like the identity-related Feminist Art. The movement ushered in an era during which painting transcended its traditional role as a window onto the world and instead became a window into the artist’s mind and soul. The stylistic variations assembled under the general banner of Post-Impressionism range from the scientifically oriented Neo- Impressionism of Georges Seurat to the lush Symbolism of Paul Gauguin, but all concentrated on the subjective vision of the artist.
