Neo-Impressionist
is a term coined by the French art critic Félix Fénéon in 1887 to
characterise the late-19th century art movement led by
Georges Seurat
and
Paul Signac, who
first exhibited their work in 1884 at the exhibition of the Société
des Artistes Indépendants in Paris. Fénéon's term pointed to the
roots of this recent development in the visual arts in
Impressionism, but offered at the same time a fresh reading of
artistic means like colour and line based on the practise of Seurat
and Signac.
