Neo-Impressionism was the style of those artists such as Georges Seurat, Paul Signac and, at times, Camille Pissarro, who used the technique of Pointillism (also called Divisionism), painting in small discrete dots of pure colour. This was intended to enhance contrasts of colour and tone and was developed by Seurat in the 1880s.
