Time when it became important for artists self identifying as modern artistes. Influential on the style of other artists. Major ramifications for what we think of as modern art, and what a modern artist should show and do. Ideas of modern artist were bound up in colonial ideas of race, sexuality and colonialsm. 1870s/1880"s avant guard is dominated by the impressionists. In terms of style is it extension of realism, showing own individual experience of outside world. By 1880"s impressionism is not so scandalous. Post impressionism (period) - not a very useful term, because it encompases so many artists and style. For major leaders, cezaan, van gogh, seurat, and gauguin. Different but for simplicity sake we can divide them in two directions realism. Cezanne and seurate are going in direction of. Van gogh and gauguin are representing internalistic world (their inner world)
