"Tessellation" is mosaic work. The Romans were famous for it - look at all those villa floors. And the only use I can remember of the word in the context of "modern" art does refer to "mosaic" work, eg pointillism. I remember reading that "Seurat 'tessellated' the canvas". I also seem to recall reading that some forms of fabric art carried out by sewing small pieces of material onto a base piece to form a picture - a fabric mosaic, if you will - was referred to as tessellation. But YCLIU.
