Post-Impressionist Art Movement
The Post-Impressionist Art Movement, which existed roughly during the two decades surrounding the year 1900, got its name when first used in the title of a 1910 London art exhibition called "Manet and the Post-Impressionists." Coined by art critic Roger Fry, it was said the term "Post-Impressionist" was used out of convenience, as most of the artists being exhibited were younger than the Impressionists and his idea was to describe these younger artists relative to their particular place in time as compared to those artists of the Impressionist Movement.
Major Post-Impressionist painters included Paul Gauguin, Paul Cezanne, Henri Rousseau, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edouard Vuillard and Georges-Pierre Seurat, creator of the special dot-matrix technique of painting known as Pointillism. Post-Impressionism art was known for expressing deep emotions symbolically rather than as mere visual impressions. Those now considered Post-Impressionists didn't consider themselves part of a movement but, rather, seekers of independent styles.
