Post-Impressionism







Post-Impressionism was the French art movement tha immediately followed Impressionism. The artists who were a part of this movement showed a greater concern for structure and form than did the Impressionist artists. Still Life with Peppermint Bottle was a perfect example of Post-Impressionist art. The strong, thick outlines gives the painting quality and adds variety. Vincent van Gogh used techniques from the Impressionist period, but later transferred his style by painting large, flat areas of color, and tilted his compositions to create a strange new kind of perspective. Bedroo, at Arles shows this.
