I know that pointillism is a style of art, but how would you use it in a sentence?

Would you say "He looked at the pointillism" or would you say "He looked at the pointillism art"? Or something else?

Pointillism is a noun Pointillists is a noun too

Pointillism was an art movement ( The pointilists painted with coloured dots)

Communism is practiced in Russia ( The Communists live in Russia )

Isms are abstact things so do not have 'the' or ' a ' put infront of them like other nouns
