French (1909–1988)
Pointillism began under the title of "Neo-Impressionism" and was created by French artist Georges Seurat in the late 1800s.
Coming out the Impressionist movement, Seurat wanted to create art that tricked the eye, experimenting with closely-placed dots of color until, from a distance, they appeared to be blended. This painting by Lucien Neuquelman continues that tradition, even using similar color schemes to Seurat, to depict a riverside scene using an array of dots instead of brushstrokes. This painting is framed in a gold carved wood frame and is signed in the lower right corner.
circa 1938
