Cloisonnism


 

"Cloisonnism" is a style of post-Impressionist painting with bold forms separated by dark contours. Artists Émile Bernard, Paul Gauguin, and others started painting in this style in the late 19th century. The name evokes the technique of cloisonné, where wires (cloisons or "compartments") are soldered to the body of the piece are filled with powdered and then fired.
