Image for Georges Seurat

Georges Seurat

Georges Seurat was a French artist famous for developing Pointillism, a painting technique that uses tiny dots of color to create images. By carefully placing these dots close together, Seurat achieved vibrant, luminous effects and a sense of harmony in his works. His most renowned painting, "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte," showcases this method, emphasizing scientific observations of color and optics. Seurat’s approach marked a shift toward blending art with scientific understanding of color theory, influencing modern art movements and inspiring artists to explore new ways of visual perception.
