While Impressionism marked the first steps toward modern painting by revolutionising an artistic medium stifled by academic conventions; Post-Impressionism; even more revolutionary; completely liberated colour and opened it to new; unknown horizons. Anchored in his epoch; relying on the new chromatic studies of Michel Eugegrave;ne Chevreul; Georges Seurat transcribed the chemist s theory of colours into tiny points that created an entire image. With his heavy strokes;Van Gogh illustrated the midday sun; while Ceacute;zanne renounced perspective. Rich in its variety and in the singularity of its artists; Post-Impressionism was a passage taken by all the well-known figures of 20th century painting; and which is here presented; for the great pleasure of the reader; by Nathalia Brodskaiuml;a.
