Post Impressionism is identified by vibrant colors, thick paint application, real life subject matter, geometric shapes, and distortion of
objects or figures for expressive effect. The Post-Impressionists were an eclectic bunch of individuals, so there were no broad, unifying
characteristics. Each artist took an aspect of Impressionism and exaggerated it. Vincent Van Gogh intensified Impressionism's already
vibrant colors and painted them thickly on the canvas.
