Neo-impressionism



Neo-Impressionism is a term coined by the French art critic Félix Fénéon in 1887Félix Fénéon: Les Impressionistes en 1886, Revue indépendante to characterise the late-19th century art movement led by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, who first exhibited their work in 1884 at the exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants in Paris. Fénéon's term pointed to the roots of this recent development in the visual arts in Impressionism, but offered at the same time a fresh reading of artistic means like colour and line based on the practise of Seurat and Signac, and its theoretical background in the writings of Chevreul and Charles Blanc.
