divisionism (painting technique) (<painting techniques by application method or circumstances>, painting techniques, ... Processes and Techniques (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Refers to the general technique of separation of color using marks of any kind in painting or printmaking, particularly in the works of Italian artists. The term was invented by Paul Signac to describe the technique of Neo-Impressionist separation of color into dots or patches applied directly to the canvas, intended to produce maximum brilliance, avoiding muddiness caused by physically mixing colors. While divisionism may be used as a synonym for "pointillism," in modern usage the term "pointillism" often refers specifically to the technique using dots or very short dashes in a more controlled manner. |
