Pointillism was the primary reason I chose Grande Jatte, not because of its success or failure as an art theory, but because it was created by juxtaposing tens of thousands of little dots of paint next to each other. My original intent was to make a (very esoteric) statement about the conflict between string theory and point particle physics. (I did not use the pointillism technique myself. Seurat took eleven years to paint Grande Jatte. I had grass to cut.) As I came to a certain "point" in my work, however, I realized this was not about theories of quantum physics, but about life. Seurat's Grande Jatte, despite its failure as a theory of art, was an enormous success as a statement of life, or rather, its simple joys. Art historians...
