Camille Pissarro was introduced to Neo-Impressionism in 1885 after meeting the young avant-garde artists Georges Seurat and Paul Signac.1
Following this introduction, Pissarro became a convert to their new approach, which utilized a scientific application of paint in dots of contrasting pigments. He subsequently incorporated these techniques into his own work, even exhibiting his Neo-Impressionist paintings alongside those of Seurat at the eighth and final Impressionist exhibition in 1886.1
