Artist’s Name: Georges Seurat Date and Place of Birth: He was born in Paris in 1859. Artistic Influences: He was influenced by the Impressionists. Picasso, Braque, Matisse, and perhaps dozens of other artists by Seurat. Artistic style: He set about trying to duplicate the avant-garde colour of the Impressionists He worked inside, alone, tirelessly. He pushed Impressionist colour theory into the realm of scientific experimentation, breaking new ground with his tiny points of colour with every stroke. Though stiff, formal, and stylised, the work literally shimmered with light as the tiny dots of colour did things to the viewer's eyes no painting had ever done before. His panting moved closer to the Cubism and abstraction. What I think of his work: I like the panting because it’s hard to believe how many dots it took to make this panting. I also like this panting because of the texture he put in it.
