I love pointilism because that’s how the world looks if I take off my glasses. Even in the dark, it seems to be made up of little points of different shades of black and a tiny fragment of colour here and there.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #2276 (8/30/19) (June 1, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here (2 times, including this Throwback Thursday repeat). The August 30, 2019, strip has this painting’s first use (the artist URLs in my comment there are here links in my blog comment).
P.S. I have updated the painting’s title in the URL pointed to by my 5/31 strip comment, making it more historically accurate, and advised the painting’s owner of its webpage error. Hopefully, it’ll be corrected there soon as well.

The style’s pointillist, Petitjean says.
Could it be? I’m not sure.
(Fine details are obscure.)
There’s that cherry tree chopped by the Pres!

I think Melcher wants to provoke us/
With two nudes, in an aqueous locus/
But something ain’t right/
(Could be my eyesight)/
For they won’t seem to come into focus..

I’m pretty sure that one’s a “her”/
But the other one could be a “sir”/
But whatever they were/
It’s a bit of a blur/

Enough with the “History” we been learnin’/
And if I may be brief/

It’s a pretty long way to Mount Vernon.

So what did I do that pushed you to push me into the lake?
Call me Ishmael over 2 years ago
Hippolyte, I’m afraid you are not/
As famous as is Georges Seurat/
You spend Sundays in bed/
Whilst Georges pulls ahead/
Painting people down at the Grande Jatte///
Your shameless resort to the nude/
In the end, will fail to elude/
The deserved obscurity/
That befalls ( it’s a surety !)/
Upon those who descend to the crude..///
Georges prefers that his models be dressed/
And he paints like a man possessed/
But he paints for those snots/
Who prefer lots of dots/
But me ? I like nudes the best…

If you believe “blondes have more fun”/
And you’re wondering how it’s done/
Just look who’s in the water/
While her six year old daughter/
Is home watching her one year old son.

The partially covered brunette/
Has been wise enough not to beget/
So she may remain/
In Nature’s domain/
For as long as she cares to stay wet.
