Pointillism
Pointillism is an Impressionist painting technique developed by Georges
Seurat & Paul Signac, based on colour theory and the use of complementary
colours in particular. The painting is created using countless tiny dots of
colour, placed in close proximity to each other. When viewed at a distance, the
human eye is meant to fuse the individual dots together into areas of solid
colour (http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/glossary/pointillism)
