Went to The NGV. - Understand a bit more about Post-Impressionism now.
- otherwise known as Neo-Impressionism - in France and Belgium from 1880s - to WW1. Paul Signac & Georges Seurat - a backlash against Impressionism - used the science of Optics and Colour Theory - to paint with dots - dividing the colours on the canvas - letting them mix in your eye!.
Pointilism - to the broader brush strokes applied next to each other.
Less of an `Impression' of a fleeting moment of nature - more of a carefully constructed painting of harmonious complimentary orange & blues - depicting the working class life of the time.
