1960.

In simple terms, Impressionism art is a style in which the artist

captures the image of an object as someone would see it if they just caught a
glimpse of it. They paint the pictures with a lot of color and most of their
pictures are outdoor scenes. Their pictures are very bright and vibrant.
 In the yearly official Art Salon in 1863, many artists were not
allowed to join, leading to the public outcry. Then, “Salon des refuses”
was formed to allow the artists exhibits their works that had previously
been refused to the official salon.

 What is Pointillism?
• It was regarded as part of the Post-Impressionist movements. It was
developed by painters George Seurat and Paul Signac.
*George Seurat is the founder of Pointillism.

• Pointillist artist used only small dots of pure color to make an entire
composition.
• Pointillism has nothing to do with the subject matter of the other
painting, unlike the other art movements. It was only the specific way
of applying to the paint to the canvas that made it different others.
 Originally, Seurat named the style of art as “Divisionism” but as
the painter died, Paul Signac continued the legacy work of Seurat then
changes it over time to “Pointillism.”

The smaller the dots, the clearer the painting just like the screen
resolution on a computer monitor.

Pointillism most often used dots of complementary colors to

make their subjects more lively.
