Pointilist Fountain In The Park

Pointilism is a painting technique that uses small distinct dots of color.

 

Georges Seurat was influenced by the discovery in Physics that a beam of light is made of a number of distinct quanta each of whose energy is given by: E = h ν

 

Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. The term "Pointillism" was coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists and is now used without its earlier mocking connotation.
