IMPRESSIONISM
Concentrated on visual aspects of art Emphasized technique and juxtaposed colors
Painters worked outside – captured effects of light Color, tone, texture – muted greens, browns, grays Short strokes, dabs, or flecks
Paintings look vague from up close but more clear and precise at a distance
Included landscapes, trees, houses, people

Developed in France in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
Influenced by Realist painters – Edouard Manet

POST-IMPRESSIONISM
Reaction against sensory nature and vagueness of Impressionism Advancement of Impressionist techniques and
styles Explored the inner world of mind and spirit
and the physical outer world More romantic, emotional, and shocking
than Impressionism Bright colors, sharp outlines
Each artist formed their own specific styles
