The term "Post-impressionist" refers to a group of artists who followed the Impressionist movement but developed their own unique styles. Some synonyms for Post-impressionist include Neo-impressionist, Symbolist, Synthetist, and Cloisonnist. Neo-impressionism emphasizes the use of dots of color to create a more vibrant and luminous effect. Symbolist paintings are more interested in expressing personal feelings and emotions rather than depicting objective reality. Synthetism is characterized by the use of simplified shapes and bold colors. Cloisonnism emphasizes strong outlines and flat, bright colors, reminiscent of stained-glass windows. Each term emphasizes a different aspect of the Post-impressionist movement, but they all represent the continuation and expansion of the Impressionist style in new, exciting directions.
