Painting With Precision


French Artist, Georges Seurat was influenced by the Impressionists use of bright pure colors and outdoor themes. As a Post-Impressionist, Seurat’s work took on a different style. Seurat’s artwork was very precise. He used a method referred to as “pointillism.” By applying confetti-sized dots of pure color over the whole canvas he created a grainy-like effect to the canvas surface.

Seurat did not complete many paintings in his time because of the labor that went into each piece and due to the fact that he died at the age of 31. His most famous work, “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” inspired a Broadway musical, Sunday in the Park with George.

You will find books that feature Georges Seurat’s artwork as well catalogs, magazines and other art books at Nella’s Books and Collections.
