POST-IMPRESSIONISMis the term coined by British artist and and art critic Roger Fry in 1910 to describe the
development of French art since Manet.  Post-Impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations:
they continued using vivid colors, thick application of paint, distinctive brush strokes, and real-life subject
matter, but they were inclined to emphasize geometric forms, to distort form for expressive effect,
πand to use unnatural or arbitrary colour.
 
FEB. 23  -  HENRI MATISSE
His styles ranged from impressionism to abstraction, but is best known for his involvment with the Fauvist movement. FAUViSUM, French for "the wild beasts", was a short-lived and loose group of early twentieth-century Modern artists
whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values of
Impressionism. Fauvism as a style began around 1900 and continued shortly beyond 1910.
