Almond Blossoms, Angle Vale (SA) // 1997 // Watercolour on paper // 13 cm x 18 cm // Private CollectionIn this small watercolour, Maurovic explores the use of pointillism, first developed in 1886 by French artists, Georges Seurat and Paul Signac as an offshoot of Impressionism. it uses small dots of colour to build the overall scene. Art critics at the time used the term ‘pointillism’ to ridicule the artists that employed the technique.
