Neoimpressionism was a late-19th century art movement led by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, who exhibited their early work in 1884 at the exhibition of the Societé des Artistes Indépendents in Paris. The term 'Neoimpressionism' was coined by French art critic Felix Feneon in 1887. The movement was closely linked to Impressionism but was much more formal and strict in composition. Pointillism, which was originally called divisionism by its creators, was employed as a fundamental technique of the movement. Due to the extreme similarity and similar backgrounds of Pointillism and Neoimpressionism, both styles may be referred to solely as Pointillism.
