Artist
Georges Seurat (1859–1891) died at thirty-one, having in a handful of years invented an entirely new way of painting. Rejecting the Impressionists’ quick, intuitive brushwork, he built his pictures from small separated touches of unmixed colour intended to fuse in the viewer’s eye — a method he called chromo-luminarism and which the world came to know as Pointillism. He spent two years and more than seventy preparatory studies on this canvas, looking to classical sculpture and Renaissance fresco for the stillness he wanted.
