Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is B) Georges Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte.

 

Georges Seurat, a French 19th century painter, used pointillist technique while painting “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” in 1884 which makes adjacent dots and dashes of different hues appear to blend and form new hues when viewed from a distance ( he used standard palette for his time cobalt blue, emerald green and vermilion).
