Explanation:

Georges Seurat (1859 - 1891) was a French painter and founder of the French Neo Impressionist school. He was largely responsible for the use of a new painting technique called Pointillism.

His best known work using the technique of Pointillism is "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" ( 884).

Pointillism is a painting technique consisting of the use of a very large number of small colored dots very close to each other to paint landscapes and outdoor environments.

The dots are used to give a touch of reality and juxtaposition, causing the viewer's eyes a mixture of images and colors.

In Pointillism, colors play a fundamental role, as they enhance the work, building new impressions and tones.

The main artists who used this technique in the 19th century were Seurat, Edgar Degas, August Renoir, Matisse, among others.
