Detailed Description

Cloisonnism is an art style characterized by bold and flat areas of color separated by dark contours. The term is derived from the French word for “cell” or “compartment”, and refers to the way in which the artist creates distinct areas of color by using thin metal strips to outline the shapes. The style was popularized by the French artist Émile Bernard, who was heavily influenced by the work of Paul Gauguin. Other notable cloisonnists include Louis Anquetin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Georges Seurat. One of the most famous cloisonnist paintings is Seurat’s “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte”. This painting is a prime example of the use of bold colors and distinct shapes to create a sense of harmony and balance.
