Theoretical foundations

Mixing transparent dyes acts like stacking colored filters, because each dye absorbs complimentary colors rather than reflecting its target color. So the case for Divisionism is very strong for water colors. Particles of inorganic pigment tend more to reflect their target colors. So the difference in luminosity between divided and mixed colors is less with oil paints, vanishing at least in the limit of large opaque pigment particles. "Interact optically" may be misleading. It is here used to mean that colors mix in the eye or in the brain, but this is not really an optical effect. It is the result of lack of resolution or of the nature of image processing in the nerves of the retina and brain. David R. Ingham 20:15, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Divisionism or pointillism?

A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is pointillism according to its article, not divisionism. Is there an expert in Neo-impressionism who could rewrite this? Humpster (talk) 16:42, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

Also, there a contradiction in the article:

"Divisionism developed along with another style, Pointillism"

and

"Divisionism, also known as Pointillism"

One sentence says they are distinct styles whilst the other says they are different names for the same style.

Oh for real editors on Wikipedia, such as are fundamental to traditional, good quality publications! ~2026-12546 (talk) 15:30, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
