		Indeed, it was his encouragement and advice that inspired both Segantini and Previati to investigate Divisionism in the late 1880s, and the 1891 Milan Triennale now stands as the formal introduction of Divisionism to Italian art viewers and, in histories of Italian art, as the turning point of modernism.
		Divisionism, a technical term also used by Seurat for his post-1884 paintings, usually is understood—inadequately—as merely a means of optically mixing paint to create more brilliant color.
		As for Segantini's use of Divisionism, he did employ long, thin brushstrokes in the tapestry-like manner that would be called "the Segantini stitch," but he had not yet altered his palette to include only pigments that approximated the solar spectrum, as Previati did; rather, he retained the earth tones preferred by contemporary taste.

	Bernard S. Jackson, Making Sense in Law, Introduction
		Their divisionism causes Italian analysts to be critical of both old and new versions of natural law theories: indeed, whatever Italian analysts are today, they are certainly not natural lawyers.
		Divisionism is thus a first fundamental feature of the Italian analytical school, a position accepted and defended not only for epistemological but also for ethical-political reasons.
		Divisionism in fact is seen as a precondition for defending the space of a scientific, or at least neutral, description of the law and to preserve the clarity of moral criticisms of law.

		Divisionism refers to the general principle of the separation of colour, unlike the term POINTILLISM, which refers specifically to the use of dots.
		Employed in France by members of the Neo-Impressionist group, Divisionism was also popular in Belgium among Les XX and in the Netherlands.
		In Italy the use of Divisionism, stimulated by Vitorio Grubicy, characterizes the advanced experiments of such painters as Angelo Morbelli, Giovanni Segantini, Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, Gaetano Previati and Plino Nomelli; a Divisionist phase also marked the early works of the Futurist artists Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla, Carlo Carrà and Gino Severini, among others.

	WAC Newsletter: Rhoads essay part 4
		The Postmodern position on the issue of divisionism in contemporary culture is less the result of an intentional dialectic with our predecessors than that of a characteristic distaste for all things exclusionary.
		This Modernist dichotomy of high and low is seen as a manifestation of aesthetic bigotry, a reflection of the oppressive nature of white, upper income males who implicitly use factors of race, sex, and economic status to stratify artistic worth in society.
		Aside from the Postmodern affinity for inclusionism and its disdain for social prejudice, another aspect of contemporary aesthetic ideology which is incompatible with the Modern concept of divisionism is its opposition to the imperative of autonomy as a deciding factor of an object's artistic validity.

	Boston.com / News / World / Africa / As Rwanda vote nears, regime's catchword gives pause
		Divisionism, as written into Rwandan law, refers to attempts by anyone, particularly politicians, to promote distinctions among Rwandans on the basis of ethnicity.
		The accusation formed the basis of a decision by the legislature this year to dissolve Rwanda's main opposition party, and it remains an injurious political insult.
		Rutaremara has maintained that the differences between Hutu and Tutsi, who share the country, language, and culture, are artificial and should not play a role in political life lest they lead to another genocide.

	Guggenheim Museum - Press Office - BOCCIONI'S MATERIA
		Divisionism was the Italian response to French Neo-Impressionism and the exhibition includes several key Divisionist paintings by Boccioni.
		The Divisionists were fascinated with capturing the effects of light in divided brushstrokes of color that took shape from a distance.
		Divisionism lent itself to the foundation of Futurism, which adopted Divisionist techniques for its own representation of objects and figures in motion.

		This does not adequately classify the drawing because divisionism is defined as a sub genre of neoimpressionism in which colors are divided into their components and mechanically arranged so that the eye organizes the shape.
		The eye cannot organize the shape of this piece, and thus the expectation that there is more than the basis of divisionism at work here.
		Divisionism, as defined from a scientific view, was a principle studied by Werner Heisenburg.

		Divisionism can also be called Neo-Impressionism, since it further developed the system of painting from tube to canvas.
		Paul Signac was the greatest proponent of the style after Seurat's death, though his method of painting with uniform squares of color was quite different from Seurat's.
		Pointillism was a style which sought the same effect as Divisionism, but the dots of color were arranged systematically on a white ground which was left partially exposed, and was thus visually functional.

	A Pledge Betrayed: Preface
		This writer feels that divisionism is another trait of fascism that is always present just as is authoritarian and extreme nationalism is. The writer acknowledges that any political party in a democracy uses some form of divisionism in order to win elections.
		But there is a difference here, when this writer refers to divisionism as a trait of fascism he is referring to destructive divisionism that serves only but one purpose and that is to solely further the aims of the user.
		A good example of this destructive divisionism was after first being appointed chancellor Hitler immediately set about destroying any chance at forming a parliamentary majority.

		Officials and press alike linked "divisionism" to the prospect of another genocide, thus heightening fears and tensions between the groups they profess to be unifying.
		The attack on "divisionism" accelerated early in the year when authorities held a series of workshops with local government officials in preparation for elections.
		In the past authorities have detained several persons for alleged divisionism and have kept them in pretrial detention for a year or more in violation of their right to speedy trial.

		Delacroix described the most important part of divisionism as being the "decomposition of tints into graded strokes (p3)." This shows that divisionism is not stipple.
		By contrast, "Divisionism is a complex system of harmony, an aesthetic rather than a technique (p5)." Stipple is just the technique of applying small dots to a canvas.
		From the Neo-Impressionist view of divisionism several of the artifacts we collected would be considered art.

	Vague accusation of "divisionism" a political tool in Rwanda
		The main opposition candidate, Faustin Twagiramungu, a former moderate Hutu prime minister, has been accused of divisionism by the government media as well as the National Electoral Commission (NEC), ahead of presidential elections scheduled for Monday.
		The constitution approved in a referendum in May 2003, holds as one of its fundamental principles that "ethnic, regional and other divisions should be eradicated".
		According to a law on "divisionism and "sectarianism" promulgated in February 2002, sectarianism is defined as any use of "speech, statement or action dividing the people, that might lead to conflict among the population."

		The previous director of Umuseso spent a month behind bars early this year on charges of "inciting divisionism and discrimination" before being released because of procedural errors.
		Various international rights organisations deem accusations of "ethnic divisionism", in a country still scarred by a 1994 genocide, to be an excuse used by the government to try to silence its opponents.

	The Head Heeb: Not too shabby
		The editor of one of Rwanda's biggest newspapers on Tuesday escaped a prison term when he was convicted of defamation and outrages against a public official but acquitted on a more serious charge of divisionism.
		There was deafening applause from most of the audience in the crowded district courtroom in Kigali when the judge made it clear that the editor in chief of Umuseso, Charles Kabonero, was not going to serve a prison term.
		That may not be a ringing endorsement of press freedom, but it also signals an intention to take the judicial role seriously.

	Rwandan election campaign opens old wounds / President accuses challenger of raising Hutu-Tutsi divisions
		The charge of divisionism is not to be taken lightly in this country, where the majority Hutu tribe slaughtered 800,000 of the minority Tutsi and their Hutu sympathizers nearly 10 years ago, and where the Hutus still constitute 85 percent of the population.
		Rwandan law defines divisionism as attempts by anyone -- particularly political candidates -- to distinguish between Rwandans on the basis of ethnicity.
		Rutaremara maintains that the differences between the two peoples, who share the same language and culture, are artificial and should not play a role in political life.

	The Magazine Antiques: Italian divisionism. (Report from Europe).(Brief Article)@ HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Less well known than French impressionism, the artistic movement known as divisionism was an Italian response to the impressionists and post-impressionists.
		The divisionist technique, which owed much to Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, was grounded in the construction of images from small dashes of pure color that would blend when viewed from a distance.
		Despite close links with impressionism, divisionism was an autonomous movement.

		We are concerned that “inciting divisionism”; laws may be used as a pretext to silence those who would seek to legitimately criticise your government.
		We respectfully remind you that if the jailing of Mr Sebufilira and his colleagues is simply related to their exercise of professional journalism, it would constitute a breach of the right to freedom of expression, which is guaranteed by numerous international conventions.

		Renoir and Degas were some of the first to break away, feeling stifled by the inherent limitations of Impressionism; while Cezanne rose to prominence amongst the art elite by quietly searching for something more solid than the airy lightness of en plein air Impressionism.
		In Italy, for instance, a movement called Scapigliature combined Divisionism with figurative painting in a style blending with it elements of Rococo and Romantic painting.
		At the same time, Giovanni Segantini evolved his realistic painting style using color gradations into a kind of linear form of pointillism, wherein varying colors were meticulously laid in using parallel lines as thin as thread which corresponded to the composition of the painting rather than overriding it as did Pointillism.

	indielondon.co.uk - events - Painting Light: Italian Divisionism 1885-1910, Estorick Collection (until September 2003)
		Closely allied to the work of artists such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, the Divisionist technique was grounded in the construction of images from small dashes of pure colour that would blend in the eye of the spectator when viewed from a distance, resulting in works characterised by an intense luminosity.
		Perhaps most characteristic is the way in which many Italian artists, such as Giacomo Balla and Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, combined their study of light and their investigation of optical phenomena with social commentary, applying their pictorial theories to depictions of the marginalised elements of society, such as the working class and the poor.
		The influence of Divisionism lasted into the early twentieth century and was of particular significance in the development of Futurism, which adopted its fragmentary, shimmering technique as a means of evoking the dynamic simultaneity of the modern urban environment.

	Atomism and Infinite Divisibility - Preface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		For the purpose of this work, I shall occasionally refer to this position as 'divisionism' and the adherents to this view as 'divisionists'.
		In this work I show that the traditional mathematical arguments for infinite divisibility are flawed and that most philosophers in the past did not discover the flaw.
		My view is that the two positions, atomism and divisionism, are each internally consistent and, though mutually incompatible, are independent in a way not unlike Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries or the waves and particles of quantum physics.

		All I can seem to put together is that it refers to some methodology that sits between cubism and futurism.
		'Divisionism' is usually associated with an earlier artist: Georges Seurat (1851-1891).
		It refers to his system of applying colour to the canvas (with which he wanted to rival Monet and the Impressionists in luminosity) by building up dots or points of pure colour.

	Fornara Carlo: Biography
		In Lyon, Fornara developed a highly personal vision of still-life painting, a vision he was to return to at a later stage of his artistic life when he focused exclusively on the inner world and used the landscape as a backdrop to the concepts he had learned at Santa Maria.
		En plein air marked Fornara's admission to the divisionism movement and launched him once and for all into the world of contemporary art, allowing him to take part in all national and international exhibitions over the following twenty-five years.
		In the 1920s Fornara broke away from divisionism and moved towards a more realistic style that sought to convey the poetry of truth.

	Pointillism: Artists and their Works
		It is an offshoot of Impressionism, and is usually categorized as a form of Post-Impressionism.
		It is very similar to Divisionism, except that where Divisionism is concerned with color theory, Pointillism is more focused on the specific style of brushwork used to apply the paint.
		The term "Pointillism" was first used with respect to the work of Georges Seurat, and he is the artist most closely associated with the movement.

		This is the essential focus of the exhibition: to throw light on the modernity of Lombard art during that period, as it emerged and then grew increasingly strong.
		This theory concerned with history and art, corroborated by scientific studies, is presented to the general public for the first time at the new exhibition.
		Indeed it was the studies of light and refraction set in motion by the Scapigliati that brought on Divisionism, too long considered a slavish imitation of French pointillisme.
