The document discusses the concept of pointillism in both art and music. In art, pointillism involves applying small dots of pure color close together so that the eye blends them into the overall image. Georges Seurat's painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is presented as a famous example. In music, pointillism involves having different instruments play single notes that blend together to form a melody, as demonstrated in Arnold Schoenberg's piece Farben. The concept of pointillism is then discussed in other artistic contexts such as color printing.
