'''Neo-Impressionism''' is a [[painting]] movement developed by [[Paul Signac]] and [[George-Pierre Seurat]] in the late 1880s. Seurat's painting: ''A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte'', marked the beginning of this movement; this painting is currently at the "The Art Institute of Chicago".
At the genesis of the movement:
<blockquote>
"Signac, definitively won over... had just modified ''The Milliners'' following my technique at the same time as I was finishing the Jatte ." Signac added dabs of pure color over the originally broadly painted surface to produce the desired divided effect. Its genesis in two stages is probably responsible for the painting's present fragility, which prevents it from traveling.
Signac painted his first divisionist canvases at Asniéres in the spring of that year: ''The Junction at Bois Colombes, The Gas Tanks at Clichy,'' and ''Passage du Puits Bertin, Clichy''. Neo Impressionism was born. Signac recognized his friend's genius from the start and "benefited from [his] researches," as Seurat himself pointed out. This "exact technique" permitted him to give color a predominant role, and he remained faithful to it to the end. [http://www.artchive.com/artchive/S/signac.html]
</blockquote>
Other important painters of this movement were: Charles Angrand, Henri Edmond Cross, and Albert Dubois Pillet.
