Post-Impressionism was first coined by the art
critic Roger Fry in 1906. Learn how the artists
of this new art movement, still involved with the
bright colors and real-life focus of the
Impressionists, also struck out on their own,
each in his own particular way.

Class Information
Friday, October 6, 2:00-3:30pm Georges Seurat (1859-1891) A Parisian who knew Normandy, Seurat created pictures based on the latest scientific vision research of his time, including Pointilism, a technique of placing daubs of paint close together. Friday, October 13, 2:00-3:30pm Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) Pastor and painter, Dutchman Vincent van Gogh produced more than 2,000 works of art in his last decade, many full of emo-tion. Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo that, as he had no children, he viewed his paintings as his progeny. Friday, October 20, 2:00-3:30pm Paul Gauguin (1848-1908) Moving from Peru to Paris to Tahiti, Gauguin mastered sculpture, pottery, and painting in a variety of styles. Friday, October 27, 2:00-3:30pm Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) A native of Provence, Cezanne began as an Impressionist painter who later pur-sued his own inexpressible artistic goals, which included revealing an underlying geometry in his subject matter.
