In 1886, the young French artist Georges Seurat caused a major scandal when he unveiled a radical new style of painting. Known as pointillism, this technique involved painting in ‘dots’ of pure complementary colours.
Artists working across Europe, including Paul Signac, Jan Toorop, Henri-Edmond Cross and Anna Boch, experimented with the style in different ways. They became known as the Neo-Impressionists.
Our curators shine a light on this band of artists – whose political ideas were as radical as their painting – and explore how they paved the way for art as we know it today.
Connect the dots as you experience the world's most significant collection of Neo-Impressionist art in our exhibition, 'Radical Harmony: Helene Kröller-Müller's Neo-Impressionists'.
