O Pontilhismo é uma técnica de pintura, saída do movimento impressionista, em que pequenas manchas ou pontos de cor provocam, pela justaposição, uma mistura óptica nos olhos do observador (imagem).Esta técnica baseia-se na lei das cores complementares, avanço científico impulsionado noséculo XIX, pelo químico Michel Chevreul. Trata-se de uma consequência extrema dos supostos ensinamentos dos impressionistas, segundo os quais as cores deviam ser justapostas e não entre mescladas, deixando à retina a tarefa de reconstruir o tom desejado pelo pintor, combinando as diversas impressões registradas.A técnica de utilização de pontos coloridos justapostos também pode ser considerada o culminar do desprezo dos impressionistas pela linha, uma vez que esta é somente uma abstração do Homem para representar anatureza.Esta técnica foi criada na França, com grande impulso de Georges Seurat e Paul Signac, em meados do século XIX.
