The Art of the Post Impressionists

After the revolution of Impressionism, painters had to search for new ways to carry the new ideas forward. This fine book illustrated the high points of that search with a selection of glorious pictures. Van Gogh chose to paint in bright, flat shades & Cezanne found an impressive way of describing the structure of landscape. At the same time Seurat was working out a formula for Impressionist theories by painting in dots. Then there were the Fauves, headed by Matisse, as well as Picasso's exoeriment with a structured Cubist approach.
