Georges Seurat is well-known for developing Pointillsim, whereby tiny dots of physical color merge in the eye to form large areas of perceived color. There is a very famous painting by him in the Art Institute of Chicago called (I won't get this exactly right) "Afternoon on the Banks of the Seine." It is a VERY famous painting and it is VERY large, a few feet in both directions.
Vincent Van Gogh's style is one-of-a-kind if you ask me. One of his most famous paintings is called "Starry Night" and features lots of loose, directional strokes of color. He also painted a famous rendering of sunflowers.
These two men are without a doubt some of the most influential painters in history. Unfortunately, Van Gogh's work wasn't appreciated in his time, and he died poor and miserable.

Vincent van Gogh(1853-1890) was born in the Netherlands, and George Seurat(1859-1891) was born in France.
Seurat loved to use the pointilism way of painting in the neo-impressionism.
Van Gogh had his own special way of painting in the post-impressionism.
