      • Art should not revolve around style, process or aesthetic approach
      • A way to convey feelings
    • Shared their work through independent exhibitions across Paris like the Impressionists
    • Distinctive brushstrokes

      • Thick application
    • Unlike other art movements, it is not coherent. Artists painted in different styles but did share some characteristics
