Great things are done by a series of small things brought together. — Vincent van Gogh.

Post-Impressionism was a mainly French art movement that developed between 1886 and 1905, from the last Impressionist exhibition to the birth of Fauvism.

Post-Impressionism emerged as a reaction against Impressionists concern for the naturalistic showing of light and color.

Post-Impressionists were a continuation of Impressionism but rejected its limitations.

Artists continued using vivid colors, often the thick application of paint and real-life subject, but they were inclined to use geometric forms, distort form for expressive effect, and use arbitrary color.

The proeminents Post-Impressionists artists were Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne, and Paul Gauguin
