Hippolyte Petitjean
Painting
Hippolyte Petitjean was a French painter and a key figure in the development of Divisionism and Neo-Impressionism in late 19th-century France. Working primarily in oil on canvas, he applied small, distinct strokes of pure color that optically blend when viewed from a distance, a technique refined alongside Paul Signac and other practitioners of the movement. His landscapes and figure compositions demonstrate a methodical approach to color theory and light.
