Description
The chart is an interactive lineage map. Post-Impressionism sits at the center, on a timeline that runs from older movements at the top to newer ones at the bottom. The movements that influenced it appear above it, any parallel movements it developed alongside sit on its own row, and the movements it later influenced appear below. Every line is a real, cited connection between two movements: a solid line is an influence historians broadly agree on, and a dashed line is an indirect, parallel, or contested link.
For Post-Impressionism (c. 1886 – 1905), it traces one movement that shaped it, a well-established link: Impressionism; it runs alongside two parallel movements, all well-established links: Modernism and Pointillism; it fans out to nine movements it went on to influence, all well-established links: Cloisonnism, Cubism, Expressionism, Fauvism, Futurism, Les Nabis, the Paris School, the Progressive Art Movement and Synthetism.
Post-Impressionism (also spelled Postimpressionism) was a predominantly French art movement which 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. Its broad emphasis on abstract qualities or symbolic content means Post-Impressionism encompasses Les Nabis, Neo-Impressionism, Symbolism, Cloisonnism, the Pont-Aven School, and Synthetism, along with some later Impressionists' work. The movement's principal artists were Paul Cézanne (known as the father of Post-Impressionism), Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh and Georges Seurat. Read more ↗
