Post-impressionism in painting (late 19th century) is a collection of disparate styles. In subject matter, post-impressionism is similar to impressionism—landscapes, familiar portraits, groups, and café and nightclub scenes imbued with a complex and profoundly personal significance. It is an “art for art’s sake” philosophy full of subjective impressions. Post-impressionism seeks a return to form and structure in painting, and utilizes formal patterning with clean color areas.
