Colors are much brighter when your mind is left to its own devices and has to optically mix the colors rather than using colors which are premixed and applying it smoothly. Mixing colors together dulls them!!!

Pointillism was just one of the modern art movements to dominate the 20th century.

Pointillism was a natural progression from Impressionism as it was an extension of the idea that the artist could create a painting which represented an object/image as if you were viewing it at a glance.

The modern art/contemporary art movement of Pointillism was first coined as 'Pointillism' in the late 1880s. The great pioneers behind the modern art movement of Pointillism were the likes of: Georges Pierre Seurat, Paul Signac and Henri Edmond Cross.
