"Sun," Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, 1904.
Pellizza (1868-1907) was an Italian painter known for a highly individual style called "Divisionism," which was a sort of cousin to Pointillism (lots of itty bitty dots), only Divisionism had the dots grouped to color theory, so they formed actual patches of color.
Living almost entirely in Italy, he was educated in Rome and Florence, among other places, before returning to his home town of Volpedo, when he started adding "da Volpedo" to his signature.
He struggled for recognition all his life; many times his works were greeted with confusion and dismissal. He did manage an important sale in 1907 but then his wife died suddenly, plunging him into a deep depression that led to death by suicide.
After his passing, publication of his art in various Socialist magazines in Italy and elsewhere led to to recognition he was denied in life, and now critics recognize him as a significant artist.

Commemorating the centenary of the death of Charles Angrand

Five artists explored the landscape along the river Seine northwest of Paris in the late 1800s. As their paths crossed during this pivotal time, van Gogh, Seurat, Signac, Bernard, and Angrand discovered new motifs to inspire artistic experiments, forged friendships & ignited feuds, and encouraged & critiqued one another’s work. https://www.artic.edu/highlights/58/five-artists-along-the-seine?fbclid=IwAR3nmAxGb2UDW3xW4dPFiR0JXwrI1IgMcWSLb7hUSZTOfgRnvpXaFhQR70s

In 1906 #AndréDerain made 30 #paintings of #london “Some of his views of the #thames use the #pointillist technique of multiple dots, although by this time, because the dots have become much larger, it is rather more simply the separation of colours called #divisionism and it is peculiarly effective in conveying the fragmentation of colour in moving #water in #sunlight."
