Two Women by the Shore, Mediterranean was created by French artist Henri Edmond Cross in 1896. The painting is an iconic example of pointillism, which is a style of painting made up of many individual dots. Cross is considered a neoimpressionist who strived to purify the techniques and effects of impressionism. Cross said, “I want to paint happiness, happy beings who will have become mankind in several centuries when pure anarchy will be realized.”
