GeorgesPierre Seurat

 

Georges Pierre Seurat (1859–1891), a trailblazing French post-Impressionist, is celebrated for inventing pointillism and chromoluminarism, painting techniques that revolutionized the use of color and light. He is also known for his meticulous conté crayon drawings on coarse paper. Seurat was a study in contrasts, marrying a refined, sensitive approach to art with a fondness for scientific abstraction and precision.

His masterpiece, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," is a landmark in modern art, marking the inception of Neo-Impressionism. This piece, emblematic of late 19th-century painting, showcases his unique method of applying science to art, which deeply influenced the course of art history.
