Georges Seurat

Seurat paintings

Georges Seurat is a French painter, one of the representatives and creators of neo-impressionism. He was born in the second half of the 19th century in Paris, where he died after only 32 years. He lived a short, but extremely creative life. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and was interested in color theory. A large part of Seurat's works were created using the technique of pointillism, i.e. dotting, which he invented and developed. Seurat, and later also van Gogh and Gauguin, painted by placing colorful dots densely next to each other on the canvas, which, when admired from a distance, merged into a clear image. Paintings painted with this technique became the most famous works of the era, including a painting entitled Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grande Jatte.

George Seurat - life and most famous paintings

George Seurat was a French painter and representative of neo-impressionism. He was born on December 2, 1859 in Paris. He began his adventure with painting by copying the works of masters that were in the French Louvre. He was interested in the theory of art, and especially in the theory of colors, which undoubtedly inspired him to creative exploration. Over time, he began to focus more and more on colors in his paintings.
His works were innovative, and the painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grande Jatte became one of the most important in the 19th century. George Seurat was the creator of pointillism, a technique of placing small spots next to each other. Their saturated colors merged in the viewer's eye, creating the effect of the elusiveness of light. George Seurat called his technique divisionism and based it on the principles of chromaticism and optics. Unfortunately, he was not able to fully develop it. His painting career was interrupted by illness. The artist died on March 29, 1891 of diphtheria at the age of only 31. However, Georges Seurat's paintings delight the eyes of viewers to this day.
