Hypertext Webster Gateway: "pointillism"
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913)
Neoimpressionism \Ne`o*im*pres"sion*ism\, n. (Painting)
A theory or practice which is a further development, on more
rigorously scientific lines, of the theory and practice of
Impressionism, originated by George Seurat (1859-91), and
carried on by Paul Signac (1863- -) and others. Its method is
marked by the laying of pure primary colors in minute dots
upon a white ground, any given line being produced by a
variation in the proportionate quantity of the primary colors
employed. This method is also known as {Pointillism}
(stippling).
