Vincent van Gogh transforms reality into an intense emotional flow of color and line

Vincent van Gogh transforms reality into an intense emotional flow of color and line.
The late 19th century became a moment of radical rethinking of the language of painting. Post-Impressionist artists moved beyond simply capturing the visible world and began exploring perception, emotion, and the structure of reality. Their experiments paved the way for 20th-century art — from modernism to the avant-garde.

Vincent van Gogh turns reality into a charged stream of color and line. Paul Gauguin searches in Tahiti for a “primordial” world and develops a new symbolic language. Georges Seurat brings science into painting. Paul Cézanne reconstructs the very space of the canvas.
