The term was coined by the critic Félix Fénéon in 1886 to distinguish the new optical method from the looser Impressionist handling out of which it had emerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement ran from approximately 1886 to 1910, with strong branches in France and Belgium. Fénéon's circle, the Brussels group Les XX, and the Paris Salon des Indépendants provided the principal showing platforms outside the official Salon. The principal practitioners were Henri-Edmond Cross, Théo van Rysselberghe, Maximilien Luce, Charles Angrand, Albert Dubois-Pillet, Hippolyte Petitjean, Georges Lemmen, and the briefly affiliated \u003ca class=\"artist-bio-link\" href=\"\/collections\/camille-pissarro\"\u003eCamille Pissarro\u003c\/a\u003e and his son Lucien.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement attached a partly political programme to its colour theory, with Signac, van Rysselberghe, and several others identifying as anarchists or libertarian socialists.
