Pointilist is a term typically associated with the French art movement of the late 19th century, which is characterized by the use or application of various small dots or strokes of a single color to form an image. Synonyms for the term include dotted, stippled, dappled, speckled, spotted, and freckled, which allude to the meticulous technique used in creating the art form. These synonyms are also applicable in describing similar art styles that involve the use of small and precise details to create an image, such as pointillism, pixel art, and mosaic art. Hence, these synonyms can be used interchangeably depending on the context of the description of the art form.
