Pointillism started in Paris, France.
Pointillism is a painting technique created by Georges Seurat (and to a lesser extent, by Paul Signac) in Paris in the 1880s. Seurat was born in Paris, and attended École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. Seurat's best known work, Un dimanche après-midi à l'Île de la Grande Jatte (A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte) was painted over a two-year period, beginning in 1884. While working on this large painting (approx 7' x 10'), Seurat frequently sat in the park on the Island of the Grande Jatte, which is located on the Seine River near at the gates of Paris. This was a popular place for the rising middle class of Parisians to spend their leisure time - to see and to be seen. Seurat and called his technique "divisionism" or simply "neo-impressionism"; the term "Pointillism" (like the term "Impressionism") was a derisive term invented by critics.
