Georges Seurat (1859\u20131891) was only 31 when he died, but his short life blazed with inspiration, vision, and creativity and altered the course of European painting.<\/p>\n
A keen student of the interplay between light and color, Seurat studied Delacroix, in particular, as a student at the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His studies led him to develop the concept of Neoimpressionism, which in turn, resulted in the radical approach of Divisionism. This technique, which informs his two best-known pieces Bathers at Asni\u00e8res<\/em> and A Sunday on La Grande Jatte<\/em> \u2013 1884<\/em>, used pointillism to laboriously develop images that shimmered with luminescence and movement.<\/p>\n In this accessible and enjoyable introduction to Seurat\u2019s life and work, we meet an artist driven by a profound need to articulate nature, harmony, and the simple pleasures of life in dense, kinetic tones and lines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Georges Seurat (1859\u20131891) was only 31 when he died, but his short life blazed with inspiration, vision, and creativity and altered the course of European painting.
