The style of a group of late 19th-century and early 20th-century artists including Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Cézanne. Similar to Fauvism, this style contradicts the natural style of the Impressionist painters and explored color, line, and form even further. Their goal was to also include the emotional response of the artist, a view that led to Expressionism.

French artist Paul Gauguin's bold colors, exaggerated body proportions and stark contrasts helped him achieve broad success in the late 19th century.
Like VanGogh, Gaugin's painting was not appreciated until after he died. He spent the last 10 years of his life in French Polynesia, so the landscapes and people that he painted reflected that influence.
In just over a decade, Vincent van Gogh created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. He sold only one painting in his short life, but now sell for millions. Paintings included landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self portraits, and are famous for their bold colors and expressionist style.
Camille Pissarro was a French landscape artist best known for his influence on Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting. He preferred to work in the open air rather than the studio, painting scenes of village life and the natural world. Returning to his home in France at the end of the war, Pissarro discovered that the majority of his existing body of work had been destroyed.
