H.M. Saffer paints in the pointillist style. Saffer's paintings are characterized by their texture and richness, balancing a sense of essential simplicity and quietude with meticulous and rhythmic pointillist mark-making.
A pointillist is an artist who uses a style of painting with tiny dots of color. When you look from far away, your eyes mix the dots into new colors and shapes.
Key Ideas
Small Dots: Artists place single points of paint next to each other on a palette.
Optical Mixing: The eye and brain blend the separate color dots together from a distance.
Famous Painters: Georges Seurat and Paul Signac started this style in France in the 1880s.
For paintings, quietude is a deep state of calm, stillness, and visual peace. It describes a canvas or color palette that feels restful, harmonious, and free of harsh contrast or loud noise.
