It's more a sin of inference and omission, unfortunately. Thanks for the clarifications!

Van Gogh was Post Impressionism and Seurat was considered a Pointilist, more then a Impressionist, due to his painting technique. I only bring this up because cause I don't want people to be misinformed about the facts, then going on to spread them to other people as fact, when in truth they aren't. It is sort of like bad Journalism. And again, I want to say all three schools of art are wonderful places to draw inspiration from for ones work. I do it all the time and I also look at Matisse's use of color. There's a lot to be said for looking and learning from others peoples art.
