Part one: What is post-Impressionism? How is it different from its precursor? We will examine key differences using Impressionist works of Monet, Manet, and Renoir to show how postImpressionists such as Cezanne, Gauguin, Seurat, and Van Gogh pushed beyond depicting the natural world, instead looking inward for inspiration. In doing so, these artists paved the way for twentieth-century abstraction. Part two: Van Gogh sold only one painting during his lifetime. So how do we explain his enduring fame? We will take a closer look at his most iconic paintings—the visual power of color and brushstroke—and learn about the woman to whom we should all be grateful for bringing his art to the world.
