Pós-Impressionismo

by Nathalia Brodskaia, Gil Reyes (translator)

Enquanto o Impressionismo deu os primeiros passos em direção à pintura moderna ao sacudir um meio artístico preso às convenções acadêmicas, o Pós-Impressionismo, ainda mais revolucionário, liberou completamente o uso da cor, abrindo-lhe novos e insuspeitados horizontes. Rico em sua variedade e na singularidade de seus artistas, envolveu importantes pintores, a exemplo de Vincent Van Gogh, com suas cores e pinceladas expressivas, Paul Cézanne, que nos deu uma nova percepção do espaço, Paul Gauguin, voltado para a cultura primitiva, e Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, com sua temática social e expressiva. Destaca-se ainda o Neoimpressionismo de Georges Seurat, que traduziu para a pintura a teoria química das cores de Michel Eugène Chevreul ao aplicar pequenos pontos de cores complementares que formavam a totalidade da imagem.

Reviews

[Ruth Charchian · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author is the curator at THE most respected museum's in the world: The Hermitage in St. Petersburg. She selected four post impressionism (1886 to 1920 painters to present in detail in this book. They were younger than most of the impressionist painters but launched their careers from their predesessors perspectives. From them emerged an artistic phenomena, varying styles of art, remarkable creative personalities that dramatically changed tastes and artistic passion. They did not share the same opinions about art, style, or view of nature. They all had the same sad fate: none of them had an exhibit in public. Some were too shocking with color or subject. Others were not viewed to have the technical ability. In other words, they deviated from the accepted culture of their time.
