Posters post-Impressionism
Post-Impressionism moves away from the fleeting brushstroke of Impressionism towards colour built in flat clean planes, vibrant dots or simplified shapes. Landscapes, portraits and still lifes gain a more graphic character. On a wall, this assertive register brings a more structured colour presence than a classic Impressionist scene.
How to choose your Post-Impressionist poster
Which Post-Impressionist poster should you choose?
Post-Impressionism brings together several ways of building colour, more assertive than a simple fleeting touch of light:
- Pointillist register: small juxtaposed dabs, a vibration of colour perceived from a distance.
- Flat areas with clean outlines, almost decorative and constructed shapes.
- Landscapes reworked through colour and structure rather than natural light.
- Portraits and scenes of everyday life with simplified silhouettes, a saturated and contrasted palette.
- Still lifes built in volumes, fruit and objects treated as coloured masses.
- Post-Impressionist poster print with bold colours, for a wall seeking graphic character.
The filters on the left narrow the choice by dominant colour, by style and by room to decorate.
Where to hang a Post-Impressionist poster?
- Living room: a large format with bold colours, above the sofa.
- Dining room: a still life built in flat planes, near the table.
- Bedroom: a landscape in warm tones, soothing despite the assertive construction of shapes.
- Office: a portrait with simplified shapes, vertical format, at eye level.
- Hallway: a series of pointillist scenes sharing the same palette and the same format.
Post-Impressionism or Impressionism: what difference for a wall?
Impressionism captures fleeting light in quick strokes, without always seeking an outline. Post-Impressionism, by contrast, structures colour into flat planes and constructed shapes, with a cleaner drawing and more assertive masses. On a wall, this register stands out more: clean outlines and saturated colours carry a room better than diffuse, shifting light. An interior already rich in texture or pattern will gain from this more graphic register, while a neutral wall lets the colour express itself fully.
Poster, print or artwork: what's the difference?
All three words describe the same thing here: a printed image you hang on the wall. We say poster because we print on photo paper, never on canvas. The same image also exists on a metal plate, in several sizes.
- Framed: black, white or light oak, mounted and ready to hang.
- Unframed: the sheet alone, to slide into a frame you already own.
