Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Portrait of Émile Bernard
Post impressionists recected the limitations of Impressionism. They contintued the use of vivid colours, thick application of paint, distinctive brush strokes and the real life subject matter. This painting shows all of theses characteristics. Post impressionism also distorted form for expressive effect and used unnatural or arbitrary colours. They wanted to add the structure to their paintings that Impressionism lacked.
This painting has a realistic subject but the texture looks more rubbery on his clothes and too rough on his skin. The colours in the painting are all very siilar creating an eerie and serious atmosphere. The lines are very soft looking adding to the atmosphere.
