  Georges Seurat (1859–1891) and Neo-Impressionism | Thematic Essay | Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan ...
Neo-Impressionism is a term applied to an avant-garde art movement that flourished principally in France from 1886 to 1906.
In the words of the artist Paul Signac, Neo-Impressionism's greatest propagandist, "the separated elements will be reconstituted into brilliantly colored lights." The separation of color through individual strokes of pigment came to be known as Divisionism, while the application of precise dots of paint came to be called Pointillism.
The art critic Félix Fénéon first used the term "Neo-Impressionism" to describe the paintings of Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro, and his son Lucien Pissarro, at the eighth and last Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1886.

  Hermann Grimm
His approach to art history was through the "Great Masters," and arranging significance of art through a biographical account of art history.
This approach to art history is shared by other historians of his age, including Carl Justi (q.v.), but was personally savaged in the lectures of Anton Springer (q.v.).
Perhaps because formal analysis and the sanctity of viewing the original work of art mattered so little to him, he was among the first to use lantern slides (reproductive images) in his lectures.

In this show an art critic/curator selected a group of generally renown and historically recognized artists and required them to produce an artwork in a medium that the critic selected and that, almost to a single one: none of the artists had ever produced an actual work of art in before.
Many artists consider how image reproduction and circulation function constitutively in their art; some are keen to the fact that art today is produced not in the studio, but in the dynamic social relationalities among artist, viewer, dealer, institution, publication, and so on; some artists even make this the material of their art.
I think her effort at respecting all the main religions of the region, at operating with regard to all the converging cultures, should rather be a model for anyone voicing an opinion on the war than what Holzer did within one context generally recognized as being biased, or at least party to the conflict.
