Post-Impressionism <^>.<^>

As the name of the period states Post-Impressionism is the movement that comes after impressionism. many of the post impressionist didn't like that the impressionism lacked form and a sturdy. This style of painting is not realistic but it's not impressionism with the watery effect. This style has hard edged and dark outlines. the colors look like there placed next to each other creating the shading and giving you the objects you see.

The first painting I'm showing is by Paul Cezanne called Still life with Peppermint bottle. The picture kind of looks cartoon like with the thick border and the very dark shadows and creases in the blanket. The lighting on the bottles is ever blunt and don't dissolve in to make a smooth look making the light look like It was thrown on to the bottle.

The next artist I'm talking about is Vincent van Gogh and is painting his Self Portrait. This refers a lot back to the impressionist style due to how the paint was applied. With the short strokes, but the picture looks semi life like ignoring the watery and fantasy look of impressionism and keeping the post impressionist style going.
