A School of Grouper Fish (38" x 26"), AVR. Pointillism is an art style of Impressionism in the later part of the 19th century in Europe, a distinct style that characterize in the paintings of French artist Georges Seurat, leader of this neo-impressionist movement. 

Fish, tell me where you live, your home;

    The ocean is so huge to be your own;

Fish answers: I am a fugitive in pursuit,

    Hunted or hunter whichever may suit.    

Fish, tell me of your kin and your shoal;

    How you live together as a school;

Fish answers: I live by the rules of the sea,

    By number and luck, and by being free.  

Fish, tell me if I am friend to you, or a foe;

    I gave you a name, regard you with awe;

Fish answers: Neither, I'd rather be unseen,

    Far from the dreadful fate of your cuisine. ~ 

Georges Seurat (1859-1891); painting of a dolphin, typical of his art style.
