We will set Impressionism aside to embark on a new journey through Post-Impressionism. This movement, which emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was characterized, like its predecessor, by breaking with the rules established by the academies. Among its artists was a strong desire to faithfully reflect nature and present a more subjective view of the world.
Seurat
Georges-Pierre Seurat was the founder of Pointillism. He was famous for his technique in which the human eye is what blends the colors on the retina. In several of his works, such as Sunday on the Grande Jatte and Bathing at Asnières, we can see several ARISTODOGS enjoying an afternoon in the park.
Sunday on the Grande Jatte (1884-1886)
Bathing at Asnières (1884)
Van Gogh
This artist is one of the leading figures of the Post-Impressionist movement. His work stands out for its use of color and a frenetic technique in which certain traits of Expressionism can be seen. His early works were drawings depicting peasants and miners, models of everyday life, and animals, such as the drawing of this dog.
Or this one of this lady walking down the street with her dog.
Toulouse Lautrec
This artist created the modern poster, a starting point for Expressionism. He was renowned for his drawings and posters depicting Parisian nightlife in the late 19th century, where the human figure in motion predominated. Among his paintings, we can also find several portraits of ARISTOPETS.
Paul Gauguin
This artist's work stands out for its experimental use of color. He used flat colors in his works with an original theme of a primitive nature that moved away from everything related to contemporary beauty. His work paved the way for later movements, such as German Expressionism and Fauvism, and had a notable influence on Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso.
Joy, Arearea is one of the many compositions the painter created during his first stay in Tahiti. In the foreground, we see a red dog.
In this other work, Mimi and Her Cat, we see a little girl playing with her ARISTOGATO.
Joaquín Sorolla
Spanish painter passionate about natural light. His most notable works are beach scenes, where sunlight is reflected in the sea and illuminates the other figures in the painting. Sorolla portrayed several prominent figures in American society, including Louis Comfort Tiffany in the garden of his Long Island mansion with his dog.
He also painted a portrait of this little Jack Russell in 1909.
