#Neo impressionism how to#

In place of the hazy forms of Impressionism, those of Neo-Impressionism had solidity and clarity and were simplified to reveal the carefully composed relationships between them. In each picture the dots were of a uniform size, calculated to harmonize with the overall size of the painting. The entire canvas was covered with these dots, which defined form without the use of lines and bathed all objects in an intense, vibrating light. A calculated arrangement of coloured dots, based on optical science, was intended to be perceived by the retina as a single hue. The terms divisionism and pointillism originated in descriptions of SeuratвЂ™s painting technique, in which paint was applied to the canvas in dots of contrasting pigment. The group founded a SociГ©tГ© des Artistes IndГ©pendants in 1884. Other Neo-Impressionist painters were Henri-Edmond Cross, Albert Dubois-Pillet, Maximilien Luce, ThГ©o Van Rysselberghe, and, for a time, the Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro. Neo-Impressionism was led by Georges Seurat, who was its original theorist and most significant artist, and by Paul Signac, also an important artist and the movementвЂ™s major spokesman. Whereas the Impressionist painters spontaneously recorded nature in terms of the fugitive effects of colour and light, the Neo-Impressionists applied scientific optical principles of light and colour to create strictly formalized compositions.

Neo-Impressionism, movement in French painting of the late 19th century that reacted against the empirical realism of Impressionism by relying on systematic calculation and scientific theory to achieve predetermined visual effects.
