Pointillism is an artistic style in which dots or small touches of colour are used to create an image. The technique was first used in the late 19th century by artists such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, and remains popular among artists today. Pointillism can be used to create a wide range of effects, from subtle shadows to bold and vivid patterns. One of the main advantages of pointillism is that it allows artists to create a more nuanced and realistic sense of light and shadow. In addition, by using only a limited number of colours, pointillist artists are able to create greater harmony in their work. Pointillism is truly a unique and versatile art form that continues to captivate audiences around the world.
Seurat's famous painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande JatteAntibes' and 'Le Port de St Tropez' are other well-known pointillist paintings that use thousands of tiny dots of colour to create a detailed and vivid scene. Pointillism was initially greeted with scepticism by the art world, but the works of Seurat and Signac proved that it could be used to create beautiful and masterful paintings. Today, pointillism remains a popular style of painting, used by many renowned artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso.
