What is Pointillism?
Pointillism is a painting technique developed in the late 19th century by artists such as
Georges Seurat and
Paul Signac. It involves applying small, distinct dots of color in patterns to form an image. When viewed from a distance, these dots blend together in the viewer’s eye to create a cohesive picture.
