Generally, post-impressionism was not considered as a style in real sense because the postimpressionists did not form a group and they did not jointly hold any painting exhibition. Furthermore, they did not make any declaration. At first, they were fascinated by impressionism, but they broke away from impressionism at last and began their own way of art creation. Post-impressionism differs from impressionism in theory and practice. The postimpressionists paid more attention to subjects in daily life, exterior light and color of objects. They preferred to express their personal feelings and experiences. They also experimented with the natural use of color.
