Post-Impressionist artists sought to become more like the Impressionists by focusing more on light, rather than trying to evoke emotions in the viewer. True OR False

Suggested Answer

FalseThe Post-Impressionists were dissatisfied with the Impressionists' focus on light, because they felt that the Impressionists' paintings were too vague, didn't leave a lasting impression (ironic, right?), focused on too trivial of subject matter, and didn't evoke many emotions. Post-Impressionists used bright colors, strong geometric shapes, and other techniques to try to evoke specific emotions from the viewers.
