Influenced by Rysselberghe and his own friendship with Seurat and Signac. Lemmen adopted a Neo-Impressionist technique, locating his own personal, poetic version of pointillism in such works as his View of the Thames. Though he was successful at exhibitions with his Neo-Impressionist paintings, Lemmen began to change his position from 1895 on, tending increasingly towards an espousal of more traditional views.
