FAQ About Post-Impressionism

Post-Impressionist artists employed a range of techniques and styles in their work. Some, like Georges Seurat, developed pointillism, a technique that involves using small dots of color to create a larger image. Others, like Paul Cézanne, used a more structured approach to composition, breaking down objects into basic geometric shapes. Many Post-Impressionists also used vivid colors and thick, visible brushstrokes to create a more expressive and emotional effect in their work.
