He applied the theories of [[Eugene Chevreul]] to create a technique known as [[pointillism]], whereby small dots of color appear to combine to create the illusion of entirely different colors.
-His masterpiece, ''Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte'', hangs in the [[Art]] Institute of Chicago. Its first public appearance was in Paris at the eighth [[Impressionist]] exhibition in May, 1886.
