Step-by-step explanation:

Post-Impressionism is a term used to describe the reaction in the 1880s against Impressionism. ... The Post-Impressionists rejected Impressionism's concern with the spontaneous and naturalistic rendering of light and color. Instead they favored an emphasis on more symbolic content, formal order and structure.

Differences between Impressionism and Post-Impressionism: Post-Impressionism is less naturalistic than Impressionism. Post-Impressionism is more subjective and introspective than Impressionism. Post-Impressionism breaks the limitations on the use of color imposed by Impressionism.
