Impressionists like Claude Monet were known for their use of colour to represent shadow and light, something that later movements would incorporate into their own styles.
Aspects of colourist painting can be found in a number of art styles and movements that developed in the years after Impressionism.
One such movement was the Kapists, a group of Polish Colourists in the interwar period, who made colour one of the central elements in their painting.
Like other Coulourist painters, this group was known for their interest in the relationship between light and colour as well as painting en plein air, while still expressing individual styles within their works.
[6] When it comes to individual styles, Pierre Bonnard was a Colourist painter, known for putting emphasis on the relationship of the subjects of his art with light and colour.
