pointillism
This term describes a precise, methodical approach to art that relies on the optical mixing of colors in the eye of the viewer rather than blending pigments on a palette. It carries a connotation of patience, scientific rigor, and a deliberate departure from the fluid brushstrokes of traditional impressionism.
As a mass noun referring to a specific artistic style or movement, it is treated as uncountable. It does not have a plural form and cannot be counted as individual units; instead, one would refer to a pointillist painting or a work of pointillism to specify a single instance.
