Detail from Seurat's Parade de cirque, 1889, showing the contrasting dots of paint which define Pointillism. Pointillism (/ ˈ p w æ̃ t ɪ l ɪ z əm /, also US: / ˈ p w ɑː n-ˌ ˈ p ɔɪ n-/) [1] is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image.
The tiny juxtaposed dots of multi-colored paint allow the viewer's eye to blend colors optically, rather than having the colors physically blended on the canvas. It took Seurat two years to complete this 10-foot-wide (3.0 m) painting, much of which he spent in the park sketching in preparation for the work.
