During class, we discussed the coming about of post-impressionism. Color in paintings begins to drive the form of things and the emotion being portrayed in these paintings. Permanence becomes a theme in Post Impressionism. This is seen in C\u00e9zanne\u2019s work of a mountain from where he is form. His angle changes but the mountain remains through different works. The color pallet is also simple and stable and rhythm in shape is created by color to make the landscape also stabilize the composition. Composition also plays a large role in C\u00e9zanne\u2019s work with branches of trees and later on, dark outlines drawing emphasis to forms. C\u00e9zanne is trying to work like Poussin but from the perspective of nature. His work moves towards abstraction later on as he reduces shapes to cones cubes and spheres.\u00a0 Van Gough copies Plum Estate, showing attraction to the downward angle and flattening of space. Using frontal colors like red as backgrounds and passive colors like green as foregrounds, Gough flattens space. He also conveys emotion with the acidic combination of red and green in the night cafe. In The Starry Night, the cypress tree is larger than the church, and through reading his letters to his brother we know Van Gough valued nature over religion as a way to think about death.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
