Post impressionists artists have a common motivation of respecting and believing that their art is heavily inspired by the Impressionist movement in the 19th Century.

symbolism and personal manifestos of meaning in art was one factor they all lived by.
A painting needed to make sense or depict meaning or a sort of value to the artist himself - the visual tale the paintings told was the importance of why they do their art.
