Pointillism is a style of
painting in which small distinct points of
primary colors create the impression of a wide selection of secondary and intermediate colors. The technique relies on the perceptive ability of the eye and mind of the viewer to mix the color spots into a fuller range of tones and is related closely to
Divisionism, a more technical variant of the method. It is a style with few serious practitioners and is notably seen in the works of
Seurat,
Signac, and
Cross. The word Pointillism is actually the incorrect term used more populary today than its actual name of Neo-Impressionism. The term itself was first coined by
art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists and is now used without its earlier mocking connotation.
