Man Washing 1887

Maximilien Luce's "Man Washing" (1887) is a striking example of the artist's use of pointillism, a technique popularized by the Neo-Impressionist movement. The image depicts a man in a simple interior, meticulously rendered through small dots of color. The artist captures the act of washing in a naturalistic way, highlighting the mundane aspects of everyday life. Luce’s use of vivid colors and bold brushwork create a dynamic composition that emphasizes the movement of light within the room.
