The era of great changes that had manifold impact on life in 19th-century Europe, gave a wind in the back to many artists who were looking for something different; Therefore, in a new society born in the midst of the industrial revolution, new art is born. Artists are increasingly refusing to retreat into the mythological world of antiquity, thus finding protagonists for their painting compositions in everyday life. This awareness of reality became the basic guiding thread of modern art, which ultimately had a major impact on style. A direction that comes after Impressionism, Post-Impressionism continues to use Impressionist innovations, but in its own way. The focus is now on calculated juxtapositions and symbolism as a means by which they convey meaning in their work. The art of Post-Impressionism is expressive, and seeks to arouse emotion in the observer, while at the same time experimenting with color, shapes, and perspective. Post-impressionists are looking for different forms and ways of presenting their themes, ie they try to give a subjective perception of the world around them through their painting. Although they are part of the same artistic direction, their painting differs significantly, because all four geniuses had a different idea of what art should be and where it should lead: Cézanne concentrated on analyzing the volume of the objects he painted; van Gogh endeavored to convey to his canvases all the force of the emotions which overwhelmed him; Gauguin is fascinated by the simplicity and richness of colors in a primitive world, which civilization has not yet destroyed; and Lautrec surrendered to the bohemian lifestyle at the turn of the century, and passionately recorded Parisian nightlife with his brush, evoking all the variety of colors and feelings.
