Post-Impressionism

The umbrella name Post-Impressionism was coined by English critic Roger Fry in 1910, when he took ample time to distinguish the Impressionistic works from the new ideas he saw before him. It was obvious to him that artists like Cezanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh and Seurat were schooled in Impressionism, but they added a stronger sense of emotion, expression and symbolism to their works. The term Post-Impressionism was originally considered to be so inadequate describe the style that it took over 25 years to actually enter the language.* Regardless of their title, the Post-Impressionists opened the door to modern art as we know it.
