Impressionist made art based on portraying every day life activities, and landscapes. This defied the trend of historical art because their paintings illustrated nature or the way things are viewed. In Edgar Degas "Dancers at the Barre" he portrays what he saw around him. During this period painters painted quickly and the colors aren't mixed much. This is shown in Degas‘ painting.
During the Post Impressionist period artist applied similar paint strokes as the Impressionist but it is still very different. Post Impressionist include more emotion, imagination, or figment to their art. The art is more free like because they interpreted things like shapes or nature, and their work was also inspired by Japanese culture and their prints. Paul Signac's painting Breakfast is a good example, he paints with colorful dots and it's difficult to pinpoint some of the occupants expressions in the painting.
