Seurat is known for Pointillism. These classifications don’t really mean a particular category of art, but a particular time frame, which is often confusing. It is not a style.

Renoir and Monet were contemporaries, they even painted the same scene at the same time once. Some would consider them both Impressionists, but Monet was the only TRUE Impressionist. The others of that era only dabbled in it and then created their own style. Post-Impressionism is after that. Neo-Impressionism is after that. It’s a time period, not a style. So he could probably be considered both, I don’t know. He is a pointillist. That is not disputable.
