Neonkttie is absolutely correct: the French painter George-Pierre Seurat started pointillism. His famous painting being "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte".

The Impressionists are the predecessors of the movement, pointillism actually falls into the category of "neo-impressionism". Seurat is perhaps the most clearly demarked in the field.

The term "Pointillism" was first used with respect to the work of Georges Seurat, and he is the artist most closely associated with the movement.

"The term ('peinture au point') was coined in 1886 by the French critic Felix Feneon (1861-1944) in reference to Seurat's, La Grande Jatte, but Seurat himself, and also Signac preferred the word 'divisionism' " (this is an exact quote)
