Impressionism
The
Impressionism was an art movement that started in France around the 1870.
During this period artists use to do there paints very quickly to help capture the
images that was being seen. Also during this period the artists started to take
their canvas outside to catch what their eyes used to see. In the Impressionism
the artists saw the beauty of the world as a gift by having an objective and
emotional manner. We can start to see that painters started to have their
inspiration from people from another culture, and they start to adapt this new
knowledge art form into their paints to create new techniques.

Post-Impressionism
The
Post-Impressionism started around 1884, but this art movement was totally
developed between the 1886-1905. In the Post-Impressionism artists used to
believe in the free interpretation of nature where painters use to see through
their paintings, not just the paint in general or less saying the superficial
of it. During this period Van Gough was the first in develop a new sense of design
in art and started to apply this knowledge in his paints. Same as the
Impressionism the artists used to paint very quickly by just sketching what
they see and create a movement in the images.

Hi Ivan,
ReplyDeleteActually, the Impressionists were not expressing their emotions as much as the Post Impressionists- The Post Impressionists were also the ones that were more influenced by non Western cultures.
