Kategorie: Pointillism

Pointillism is a painting technique developed in the late 19th century by artists like Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, as part of the Neo-Impressionist movement. It involves applying small, distinct dots of color to the canvas, which blend together when viewed from a distance. Based on the scientific theory of color and optics, complementary colors are placed next to each other to create a vibrant, luminous effect. Unlike traditional brushstrokes, Pointillism relies on the viewer’s eye to mix the colors, creating a shimmering quality that emphasizes precision, harmony, and light.
