 | Description |  |
Based on new theories about optical characteristics of light and color, Seurat invented a technique called neoimpressionism, or divisionism, as a scientifically objective form of impressionism. Seurat juxtaposed minute touches of unmixed pigments in hues corresponding to the perceived local color, the color of light, the complement of the local color for shadow, and reflected color of nearby areas.
