n.
pointillism, painting technique developed by the neoimpressionists and characterized by the juxtaposition of dots of pure color in a way that creates the appearance of blending
Chromoluminarism is a technique used by Neo-Impressionists such as Georges Seurat (1859-1891). It is also called Divisionism.The technique involves breaking color into its basic elements, painting in very small and regular dots. From a distance the multiple dots form an optical mixture of color. The best known example is Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884-1886).Another variety of Neo-Impressionism is pointillism, which involves painting in dots, though not necessarily with the aim of breaking color.
