THE CIRCUS 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 of this century were influenced by Searat. Artistic Style: He set about trying to duplicate the avant-garde colour of the Impressionists. 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 Paintings moved closer to the Cubism and abstraction of a generation later than any painting of its time. What I think of his work: I Love his work I think it is amazing. It takes my breath away. It has movment and dark shadows. I just love the techture he makes you see. I think he is one of the best arist ever.
