Pointillism - Neue Pinakothek Munich

For this weeks assignment, I decided to go on a Museum trip to the "Neue Pinakothek" here in Munich, Germany. Since this one displays a variety of European Art paintings of the 18th and 19th century. It is known as one of the most important museums of art of the nineteenth century. 

Here my finds about Pointillism: 

Theo van Rysselberghe (1862 - 1926) "Springbrunnen im Park Sanssouci in Potsdam, 1903" 

Study of a Fountain / Sanssouci Palace, Germany 

Georges Pierre Seurat (1859 – 1891) "The Seine and la Grande Jatte - Springtime 1888" 

Normally exhibited at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium 

In my visit to this museum, I realized how Seurat´s Pointillism technique had evolved in time. For example in Vincent van Gogh's and Henry van de Velde's paintings you can see that the brush strokes become more comma shaped than dotted. Here some examples: 

Henry van de Velde (1863 - 1957) "Garden in Kalmthout - 1892"

Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890) " View of Arles - 1889"

Looking forward to see your paintings! 

Inv. Nr. 8662
