Cubism
Pointillism is a painting technique characterized by the application of small dots or points of color onto the canvas, which blend optically when viewed from afar to form an image. This style emerged in the late 19th century as part of the Impressionist movement and represents a shift towards scientific theories of color and perception. Figurative Art, on the other hand, is concerned with representing the physical world through recognizable forms and subjects, often drawing from life or observation. Pointillism, therefore, can be seen as a unique intersection of these two artistic approaches, where the figurative subject matter is rendered using the abstract technique of pointillist application of color. In this way, Pointillism embodies the spirit of Impressionist Art while also maintaining a connection to traditional representation in art.
