{– Seurat (1)}*

(Neo-Impressionism (“Pointillism”, “Divisionism”, “Chrom-luminarism”))

‘In November 1886[ce], Pissarro wrote to his dealer, Paul Durand-Ruel, attempting to explain the nature of the new movement:

“To seek a modern synthesis by methods based on science, that is, based on the theory of colours developed by Chevreul, on the experiments of Maxwell and the measurements of O.N. Rood; to substitute optical mixture for the mixture of pigments, which means to decompose tones into their constituent elements, because optical mixture stirs up luminosities more intense than those created by mixed pigments.”
