Abstract
Around 1885, French painters Georges Seurat (1859–1891) and Paul Signac (1863–1935) developed a style of painting variously known as pointillism, divisionism, or neo-impressionism. Instead of brush strokes, small dots of pure color are placed on the canvas. The dots fuse at normal viewing distance and create the illusion of regions having color and texture. Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte —1884 is among the best-known examples of pointillist painting; it is reproduced on the cover of this text.
