Post-impressionism

Explanation:

The post-Impressionism was an art movement that, following the Impressionism, focused on showing the subjective vision of the artist instead of using idealized and symmetrical forms, while using short brushstrokes and light and vivid palettes in the canvas. The main difference between these two movements is that the Post-impressionism artists sought to convey in their artwork their own personal memories, emotions, and thoughts: looking at an artist's canvas was equal to look at the artist soul and mind in a deeper level. The Impressionism, on the other hand, focused on showing the outside world of the artist, the passage of time, the weather, the environment.
