This painting by Georges Seurat, "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte" (1886) is an example of pointillism. Using small dots or strokes of contrasting colors, artists can create subtle changes. We see these same dots when a microscope resolves an image that is made of pixels. The eye puts the image together, but it really is made of dots. |
Chuck Close, a 20th century painter uses the same technique in this painting, "Self Portrait" (1997) |
