{"title":"Divisionism","description":"\u003cp\u003eDivisionism, also called chromoluminarism, is the systematic colour theory underlying Pointillism. The technique separates each colour into its component primaries and applies them in distinct adjacent strokes so that the eye, rather than the palette, performs the mixing. The system was codified principally by \u003ca class=\"artist-bio-link\" href=\"\/collections\/georges-seurat\"\u003eGeorges Seurat\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca class=\"artist-bio-link\" href=\"\/collections\/paul-signac\"\u003ePaul Signac\u003c\/a\u003e in the 1880s, drawing on the colour theories of Michel Eugène Chevreul, Ogden Rood, and Charles Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe French wing included Henri-Edmond Cross, Maximilien Luce, Charles Angrand, Albert Dubois-Pillet, Hippolyte Petitjean, and the briefly affiliated \u003ca class=\"artist-bio-link\" href=\"\/collections\/camille-pissarro\"\u003eCamille Pissarro\u003c\/a\u003e. An Italian Divisionism developed independently in Lombardy and Piedmont in the same period, championed by Vittore Grubicy de Dragon at the Milan Triennale of 1891 and codified by Gaetano Previati's 1906 treatise \u003cem\u003ePrincipi scientifici del divisionismo\u003c\/em\u003e.
