Pointillism
In the early 1880s, in the wake of impressionism, French painter Georges Pierre Seurat pioneered a methodical and scientific technique known as pointillism or divisionism. Seurat juxtaposed small dots of pure color together to maximize luminosity. The dots appeared to intermingle and blend in the spectator's eye.
