One of the Greatest Painters Of All Time
Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin were the leading painters associated with the French art movement known as Post-Impressionism. This movement directly followed Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism. Nearly all Post-Impressionist artists began as Impressionists, but then rejected recording light and color changes. The Post- Impressionists showed a greater concern for individuality, pure color, organization and form. Paul Cezanne once said "When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art."
