Toward the end of his life, however, he turned more toward Symbolism. Olga Boznanska is possibly the most well known Polish Impressionist, recognized in London and Paris, and winning many prizes.

The movement was led by Paul Cézanne (known as father of Post-impressionism), Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Georges Seurat. The term "Post-Impressionism" was first used by art critic Roger
