Main articles: Neo-Impressionism

'Chromoluminarism' is a technique used by Neo-Impressionists such as Georges Seurat (1859-1891). It is also called ''Divisionism''.
The technique involves breaking color into its basic elements, painting in very small and regular dots. From a distance the multiple dots form an optical mixture of color. The best known example is Seurat's ''Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte'' (1884-1886).
Another variety of Neo-Impressionism is pointillism, which involves painting in dots, though not necessarily with the aim of breaking color.
