A diverse set of styles that emerged in France in the 1880s–1900s, united by a desire to move beyond Impressionism’s focus on light and fleeting moments toward greater emotional depth, structural solidity, and symbolic meaning. Key figures include Paul Cézanne—whose The Card Players exemplifies his structural approach to form—Vincent van Gogh, whose turbulent Cypresses channels raw emotional intensity, Paul Gauguin, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. It directly succeeded Impressionism and laid the essential groundwork for Cubism, Fauvism, Expressionism, and much of 20th-century Modern Art.
