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.
