Why bother collecting Micropointillist work?
- The paintings are beautiful. Thin,
translucent layers allow light to penetrate and bounce back from
the primed white surface through the colors, giving the
paintings
an inner glow, an effect much prized by the
Dutch masters.
- They are scarce. As of 2015, there
are only a handful of artists who have competently mastered the
art of Micropointillism, and only two artists have made a living
from it.
- They last. Micropointillism is
created with archival materials. Consisting of acrylic or oil on
canvas, these works have
been exposed to large quantities of water, thus removing
residual acidic compounds that tend to age artwork.
