Morphology
Post-Impressionism = Impressionism (transparent) = post + impression + ism
The element 'post-' (after) attached to the movement name 'Impressionism' yields the clear meaning 'after Impressionism' or 'reaction to Impressionism'.
Etymology
Post-Impressionism is made of post- meaning 'after' and Impressionism, the art style that tried to show a quick 'impression' of light and color. So Post-Impressionism names the art that came after Impressionism and kept bright color but added more structure and symbolic meaning.
