Noun: Neo-Impressionism
  1. A late 19th-century movement in French painting that sought to improve on impressionism through a systematic approach to form and colour, particularly using pointillist technique.
    "The neo-impressionism of Maximilien Luce and his supporter Robert Bernier, for instance, must be distinguished from that of Seurat and his champion Gustave Kahn, a difference that can be coded especially, but not exclusively, along lines of class and audience."

Type of: Post-Impressionism
