Maximilien Luce, Morning, Interior, 1890, using pointillist technique. This type of music is also known as punctualism or klangfarbenmelodie.

Different musical notes are made in seclusion, rather than in a linear sequence, giving a sound texture similar to the painting version of Pointillism. Pointillism also refers to a style of 20th-century music composition. Pointillism is commonly used for the intricate binding of hand-made book covers in the seventeenth century, the decoration of metallic arms and armor, and for the decoration of hand-finished firearms. Anything may be used in its place, but oils are preferred for their thickness and tendency not to run or bleed. The majority of Pointillism is done in oil paint.

The painting technique used for Pointillist color mixing is at the expense of the traditional brushwork used to delineate texture. This may be partly because subtractive mixing of the pigments is avoided, and because some of the white canvas may be showing between the applied dots. Painting is inherently subtractive, but Pointillist colors often seem brighter than typical mixed subtractive colors. If red, blue, and green light (the additive primaries) are mixed, the result is something close to white light (see Prism (optics)).

Televisions and computer monitors use a similar technique to represent image colors using Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) colors. Pointillism is analogous to the four-color CMYK printing process used by some color printers and large presses that place dots of cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black). The practice of Pointillism is in sharp contrast to the traditional methods of blending pigments on a palette. Signac but he brings more precision to the cutting of his cubes of color which appear to have been made mechanically. In 1906, the art critic Louis Chassevent recognized the difference and, as art historian Daniel Robbins pointed out, used the word 'cube' which would later be taken up by Louis Vauxcelles to baptize Cubism. This form of Divisionism was a significant step beyond the preoccupations of Signac and Cross. Henri-Edmond Cross, L'air du soir, c.1893, Musée d'Orsayįrom 1905 to 1907, Robert Delaunay and Jean Metzinger painted in a Divisionist style with large squares or 'cubes' of color: the size and direction of each gave a sense of rhythm to the painting, yet color varied independently of size and placement.
