Pointillism

Pointillism is a unique painting technique that originated in France at the end of the 19th century. The founder of this movement is Georges Seurat, who proposed creating paintings not with continuous brushstrokes, but with many small dots of pure color. When viewed from a distance, these dots merge into a coherent image with a rich color palette and light effects.

This method is based on scientific concepts of color perception by the human eye and allows achieving extraordinary brightness and depth of colors.

Fun fact: Seurat sometimes worked so long on one painting, placing dots one after another, that his friends joked he was painting 'a whole galaxy of dots'!

This technique had a great influence on the development of modern art, promoting the idea that in an artist's work not only intuition is important, but also precise calculation of color and light.
