Detailed Description
Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. The term “pointillism” was first used by art critic Félix Fénéon in 1886 to describe the work of Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Seurat developed the technique in 1884, while working on his painting “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.” He used small dots of color to create the impression of light and shadow on the figures in the painting. Signac was also a major proponent of pointillism, and he helped to spread the technique to other artists. He wrote a treatise on the style, entitled “D’Eugène Delacroix au Néo-Impressionnisme.” Other notable pointillist artists include Camille Pissarro, Henri-Edmond Cross, and Maximilien Luce. Pointillism fell out of favor in the early 20th century, but it has experienced a resurgence in recent years. Artists such as Chuck Close and Roy Lichtenstein have used the technique to create striking portraits and other images.
