Seurat participa à la naissance de l' impressionnisme scientifique qui va lier l'étude des divisions de la matière (chimie de Lavoisier) à celle de la lumière. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Seurat      Seurat Georges Seurat had a brief working life during which he produced six major compositions on the theme of modern urban life. However Seurat's style of composition and his `Pointillist,' or `divisionist,' technique are not merely ends in themselves, but a means to an end - that of critically describing the modern world. The combination of innovatory and classical qualities in his work in terms of formal design make him a forerunner of the geometric and abstract artists of the twentieth century. http://www.roland-collection.com/rolandcollection/section/12/416.htm      ArtLex on Cubism They were greatly inspired by African sculpture, by painters Paul Cézanne (French, 1839-1906) and Georges Seurat (French, 1859-1891), and by the Fauves. - One of the most influential art movements (1907-1914) of the twentieth century, Cubism was begun by Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1882-1973) and Georges Braque (French, 1882-1963) in 1907. Withdrawing before the abstract and hermetic character of this new space, Braque and Picasso brought recognizable illusionistic features back into their paintings during their stay in Céret, from 1911 to 1913. http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/c/cubism.html   (2174 words)      Georges Seurat - encyclopedia article about Georges Seurat. Georges Seurat, in S. Hunter and J. Jacobus, Modern Art (3rd ed.). It seems that the harmony that Chevreul is talking about is what artist Georges Seurat (1859-1891), the father of neoimpressionism, would come to call 'emotion'. The tiny juxtaposed dots of different colored paint which Seurat used instead of long brush-strokes, when side by side, give the viewer's eye a chance to blend the color optically, rather than having the colors blended on the canvas or pre-blended as a material pigment. http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Georges%20Seurat   (2174 words)      Georges Seurat Online Georges Seurat at the National Gallery, London, UK Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut Georges Seurat at the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. 4 works by Georges Seurat Georges Seurat at the Detroit Institute of Arts, Michigan http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/seurat_georges.html   (2174 words)      Art Print Georges Seurat - Seurat, Georges - Bathers ( Art Print) - $16.99 Seurat, Georges - Bathers ( Art Print Art Prints Art Prints Georges Seurat) Georges Bosio - Bosio, Georges - Polynese - Bora Bora ( Art Print) - $57.99 Georg Dionysius Ehret - Ehret, Georg Dionysius - Magnolia I ( Art Print) - $30.99 http://posterbee.com/art.html   (2174 words)      Georges Seurat Online All images and text on this Georges Seurat page are copyright 1999-2005 by John Malyon/Artcyclopedia, unless otherwise noted.
