The female nude and pointillism, isn’t something that has been connected, but through research, i found an artist that used a different style of dots to power their work. Roy Liechtenstein was most famous through Pop Art and used advertisement and comic strips as his source material, including tongue in cheek humorous mannerisms.
His work used Ben-Day dots and flat primary colours to create what he described as industrial painting. Allowing his images to take on different meanings depending on what it confronts.(Boxer.S (1993) IN SHORT: NONFICTION; Pointillism for the Masses. New York times, New York)
Lichtenstein once stated that he first started creating dots by doodling at school, and soon realized that he could create images by connecting these dots and creating portraits. This technique finally evolved when he went to Art College in Birmingham. (Normansell, P. (2009) A London Lichtenstein. Evening Standard Limited. London.)
I managed to find one image of Roy Lichtenstein that displayed the female nude called seductive girl. ( See image above text) The title is intriguing, and reminds me of Lucian Freuds portraits of Naked Girl 1966. Despite the use of the female nude both artist have chosen not to acknowledge the female as a women but a girl with no name.
