Note: Style of painting that was primarily employed by a loosely associated group of late 19th-century Italian artists seeking a distinctly Italian avant-garde style. It uses hatching, dashes, or patches of colors to visually achieve a luminous optical effect, rather than physically mixing colors of paint. At close viewing, a Divisionist canvas is a mass of contrasting marks; at a distance, the colors are intended to visually enhance each other and produce an effect of shimmering luminosity. The style that specifically uses dots of color is usually called "Pointillist" in modern usage. While French painters using this or a similar style may be called "Neo-Impressionist," for Italian painters, it is common to call them "Divisionist." The Italian artists' style was considered both autonomous from their other European counterparts and pioneering of Modernism.

Additional Notes: |
|
| French ..... Style de peinture principalement pratiqué par un groupe d’artistes italiens de la fin du 19e en quête d’un langage avant-gardiste typiquement italien. Cette technique recourt aux juxtapositions de hachurages, de pointillés ou de taches de couleurs pour atteindre un effet optique lumineux, plutôt que de mélanger physiquement les couleurs de la peinture. En regardant de près, une toile divisionniste est une masse de marques contrastées ; de loin, les couleurs visent à se sublimer visuellement et à produire un effet de luminosité chatoyante. Dans le langage moderne, le style qui recourt spécifiquement aux points de couleur est généralement dénommé « pointilliste ». Bien que les peintres français pratiquant ce style ou un style similaire puissent être qualifiés de « néo-impressionnistes », il est courant d’appeler les peintres italiens « divisionnistes ». On considérait que le style de ces artistes italiens était à la fois distinct de celui de leurs homologues européens et précurseur du modernisme. |
