Neo-Impressionism and Pointillism are closely related but not identical. Neo-Impressionism is a broader movement that encompasses various techniques, including Pointillism, which specifically refers to the technique of applying small dots of color to create an image. While all Pointillists are considered Neo-Impressionists, not all Neo-Impressionists exclusively use Pointillism; some may employ other techniques within the movement's principles. Overall, Pointillism is a specific method within the larger framework of Neo-Impressionism.

Georges Seurat founded the Pointillism art movement in 1886 with his painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The term Pointillism was first coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists, and is now used without its earlier mocking connotation. Neo-Impressionism and Divisionism are also terms used to describe this technique of painting.
Impressionism encompasses several sub-genres, including French Impressionism, which focuses on capturing light and momentary effects using loose brushwork and vibrant colors. American Impressionism, influenced by its French counterpart, often emphasizes landscapes and scenes of everyday life. Other variations include Post-Impressionism, which extends the movement by exploring emotional depth and symbolic content, and Neo-Impressionism, characterized by the technique of pointillism. Each type retains the core principles of Impressionism while incorporating unique stylistic elements.
