	Georges-Pierre Seurat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seurat and his fellow neoimpressionists rejected contemporary Impressionism, with its emphasis on intuition and spontaneity, for a new "scientific" Impressionism, that embraced the optical and psycho-biological theories that they had learnt about from the works of Chevreul, Blanc, Sutter and Henry.
		Seurat and the handful of neoimpressionists that followed him, on the other hand would think out and plan each and every square inch of the canvas even down to the individual dots they used as the molecules of their canvas objects.
		Seurat thought that the knowledge of perception and optical laws could be used to create a new language of art based on its own set of heuristics and he set out to demonstrate this language use lines, color intensity and color schema to create harmony and emotion.

		The child of comfortably wealthy parents, Georges Seurat did his first professional training in 1878 at the École des Beaux-Arts under a pupil of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.
		Seurat was looking for "something new, an art entirely my own." By studying the science and aesthetics of perception, light, and color, he attempted systematically to re-create nature's luminosity.
		Seurat even experimented when he was not using color; in his Conté-crayon drawings, for instance, the artist renounced line in favor of large, velvety masses of dark merging with middle tones and luminous highlights created by blank paper.

		Seurat's hand has what all virtuosity claims: certitude, rightness with least effort.
		Seurat built upon a dying classic tradition and upon the Impressionists, then caught in an impasse and already doubting themselves.

	Georges Seurat
		Georges Seurat was born in Paris of a comfortably situated middle-class family.
		Another term used to describe Seurat's method of painting may be Pointillism, but since Seurat's spots of color may be squares, triangles, circles, dots, or tiny lines, this term is neither particularly accurate nor does it coincide with Seurat's ideas as expressed in his writings.
		In addition to his principal follower, Signac, Seurat's Divisionist style was adopted by Pissarro (who eventually abandoned the method as too precise for his temperament), Cross, Angrand, Dubois-Pillet, and the Belgians van de Velde and van Rysselberghe.

		Seurat acquired the role of the founder of Neoimpressionism because his work embraced the landscape and Parisian scenes of impressionism but contained other symbolic influences.
		Seurat is also credited with the development of Divisionism, which unlike Pointillism used small dots of paint of the tip of a brush to create color separations, rather than merging them together.

		The men, women and children enjoying the sun in the public park on the island of La Grande Jatte in the Seine have the sort of fixity that a moving film acquires when it comes suddenly to a halt; they are frozen in their various attitudes.
		As a preliminary, Seurat made a number of oil sketches on the spot in a free and indeed Impressionist style.
		To comment on this vast canvas where Seurat for the first time succeeded in applying, with scientific rigor, the theory of optical mixture by the division of tones-a technique which Rubens, Watteau, and Delacroix had employed intuitively-one cannot do better than to quote the following text by Jules Christophe.

		By the end of their close working relationship, in the mid 1880s, Cezanne was moving toward his works like "The Bather" and Pissarro was joining the likes of Georges Seurat and becoming part of Neo-Impressionism.
		Therefore, my No. 1 impressionist is Georges Seurat, the brilliant creator of pointillism, a systematic artistic device in which small colored dots are grouped together to create a more lifelike scene.
		Her 1929 show at Bernheim-Jeune Galleries in Paris, which handled the estate of Georges Seurat, was widely praised, with the French likening her paintings to those of Paul Cezanne.
