Family Art Saturdays • April 12th (10:00am-12:00pm)
Art Activity Topic: Post Impressionism & Van Gogh
Post Impressionism was a predominantly French art movement that developed roughly between 1886 and 1905, from the last Impressionist exhibition to the birth of Fauvism. Post-Impressionism emerged as a reaction against Impressionists’ concern for the naturalistic depiction of light and colour.
Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who created a revolutionary style using vivid colors, exaggerated forms, and loose brushwork. In just over a decade, he produced around 2,100 artworks, including 860 oil paintings, mostly in his final two years.
