neoimpressionism (uncountable)

  1. A genre of French impressionist art that used pointillism to achieve a more formal composition.
    • 2025 September 13, Jackie Wullschläger, “Portal to an abstract future or dry dead end?”, in FT Weekend, Life & Arts, page 15:
      The method, variously called pointillism, divisionism (separated colours) or neoimpressionism, is especially effective in the half-dozen monumental paintings Seurat considered his toiles de lutte (battle-canvases). […] Neoimpressionism quickly divided viewers: did it herald an abstract future or was it a dry, formulaic dead end?
