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 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 painting moved closer to Cubism and abstraction. What I think of his work: His work looks beautiful. He puts shading of people and the plants, bright colors, reflections of boats in the water, and he has a very creative way he paints.
