Post-Impressionism reflects our inner thoughts and feelings

Post-Impressionism reflects our inner thoughts and feelings 

"Post-Impressionist art is known for its bold colors, expressive images, and symbolic elements. Artists in this movement often used thick paint applications, called impasto, and painted from life. They also emphasized geometric or distorted forms, and used unnatural colors that they attributed with strong emotion." Internet quote

Paintings and Verses by Dr Abe V Rotor

Strange colony of seaweeds on coral reef, AVR 

"Queer forest in the deep,

often seen in our sleep."

Rainbow seen on broken glass, AVR

"Fragmented rainbow, its arch gone,

 ROYGBIV ceases to be one."

 

Radiance from the bottom is brighter than the sky's, AVR

"Glow coming from below,

from the heart or volcano."

Mountaineering conquers the self more than the mountain, AVR.

"Mountain to conquer,

fear, pride and anger." 

Danaus butterflies escape winter in the North, 

converge, then return in Spring, avr. 

"Monarchs, yet heed Nature,

 in a great adventure." 

Reproductive cells under the microscope, AVR

"Sparks of life unseen,

each carries a gene."

Fish of the same fins get together, AVR

"School of fish,

unity missed."

Edge of a forest scene one morning, AVR

"Fishing but not the catch,

under an holy arch." 

"Post-Impressionists believed that a work of art should not revolve 

around style, process, or aesthetic approach. Instead, it should place 

emphasis on symbolism, communicating messages from the artist's 

own subconscious."

Remnant of a local Niagara Fall, AVR 

"Dry waterfall,

after the Fall."

Replica of Archaeopteryx in relief painting. 

"Archaeopteryx risen,

to modern day chicken." 

Emerging lotus from a pond at sunrise

"Glow in the murk,

sun in the dark."

"Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... 

It also includes the inner pictures of the soul."
