Georges Seurat

Georges Seurat

Georges Seurat (1859-1891) was a French neo-imaginary founder. He applied pointillism and divisiveness techniques developed as a result of scientific research on color and light to paintings. The colors of the paint were not directly mixed, but pure colors were harmoniously arranged. Little dots of color painted with feathery brushstrokes made the painting transparent and bright. Neo-Impressionist painters such as Paul Signac and Camille Pissarro were very interested in these techniques. Since then, it has influenced not only Impressionism but also Cubism and Futureism, and has had a great influence on the birth of 20th century art. Contemporary art critics rate him as the most influential of avant-garde artists.
