Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seurat referred to his technique as divisionism, which he believed was a more scientific approach to color and light than traditional Impressionism. The term pointillism was coined by critics who saw the technique as a series of dots or points of color, but Seurat himself did not use this term. Post-Impressionism and Neo-Subjectivism are not directly related to Seurat's technique of divisionism/Neo-Impressionism.
