A movement that emerged in France in the mid-1880s, applying scientific color theory to painting through techniques like Pointillism—tiny dots of pure color placed side by side to optically blend. It was pioneered by Georges Seurat—whose Circus Sideshow demonstrates the Pointillist technique at its most refined—and Paul Signac, whose Opus 217 further developed the movement’s chromatic theory. It directly succeeded Impressionism, seeking to systematize its intuitive approach to light and color with greater rigor and structure.
