The Post-Impressionism talk will teach attendees about the predominately French art movement which developed roughly between 1886 and 1905, from the last Impressionist exhibition to the birth of Fauvism.

Post-Impressionism emerged as a reaction against the Impressionists' concerns for the naturalistic depiction of light and colour.
