Paul Signac was known for which artistic technique?

  • Abstract

  • Pointillism

  • Surrealism

  • Cubism

Answer

Pointillism, the artistic technique synonymous with Paul Signac's name, involves meticulously placing distinct dots of pure color onto a canvas. Unlike traditional blending, these juxtaposed dots optically mix when viewed from a distance, creating a vibrant and textured visual effect. This technique allows for a greater intensity and luminosity of colors, capturing the essence of light and atmospheric effects with scientific precision.
