Seurat, known for his innovative movement known as pointillism, was not used in this painting.
But, it grew on me. Perhaps one has to be familiar with Seurat and his style of painting.
Although I could not find any history about the painting or what Seurat was thinking at the time he was painting, I still find this to be an excellent painting.

In 1878 Seurat was admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts, together with Aman-Jean, and joined the painting class taught by Henri Lehmann (1814-1882), a pupil of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres.
The next, 1884, year Seurat’s first large painting, Bathers at Asnières, was rejected by the Salon.
After Bathers at Asnières Seurat started working on another large canvas A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, in which he was to create a new style and also to found an artistic movement, called variously Neo-Impressionism, Pointillism or Divisionism, the last term preferred by Seurat.

 Georges Seurat Biography
Seurat was an art scientist in that he spent much of his life, searching for how different colors and linear effects would change the look or texture of a canvas.
A private man, Seurat after he was an established artist, would produce one large canvas a year for a total of seven monumental paintings.
While at the institute, the young Seurat was strongly influenced by works of Rembrandt and Francisco de Goya.

 GEORGES SEURAT
Suddenly, Seurat found that he was the most controversial figure on the artistic scene in Paris.
Late in 1889, when Seurat was approaching 30, he moved away from the bustling Boulevard de Clichy to a studio in a quieter street nearby, where - unbeknown to his family and friends - he lived with a young model, Madeleine Knobloch.
Whether in Paris or at the coast, Seurat was never a great socializer and in the last year of his life he virtually cut himself off from friends.

 Scribbles - January 2002
Seurat did his paintings by applying thousands of tiny dots, instead of mixing tints or shades on his palette, our eyes did the work.
Seurat went to art school and spent a great deal of time at the famous Louvre Museum.
Georges Seurat was born Dec. 2, 1859 in Paris, France to a middle-class family.

 Van Gogh Museum: Collection
Vincent recognized his importance and, later, referred to Seurat as'undoubtedly' the leader of the'Petit Boulevard' artists, his own name for a new generation of young artists.
It was in 1886 and 1887, the years Van Gogh lived in Paris, that Seurat became a principal figure in the avant-garde.
In one of his letters from the south of France he expressed a wish for'one of his painted studies.' This small panel is a welcome addition to the Van Gogh Museum’s collection.

 deseretnews.com Seurat pointed way for pointillists
Seurat's pointillist masterpiece is now one of the most famous canvases in the world — both for the innovative technique that stirred such controversy at the impressionist salon of 1886 and for the influence it had on modern art.
PARIS &; When Georges Seurat first unveiled "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte," the Paris art world was scandalized.
It is the first time, curators said, that the movement and its far-reaching influences have ever been exhibited in France.

 Cirque, par Seurat
Seurat painted the flat frame for the painting, and it bears his signature.
Robert L. Herbert — who has pointed out similarities between certain of Chéret's posters and Seurat's compositions — proves that the clown is identical (only reversed) with one in a poster by Chéret of 1880, executed for the Spectacle-Promenade de l'Horloge in the Champs-Elysées.
But the drawing in that poster bears no comparison with Seurat's painting — it is heavy, clumsy, the horse moves sluggishly, the rider is ungraceful — whereas in Seurat everything gallops and cavorts.

 Seurat, Georges on Encyclopedia.com
Seurat is recognized as one of the most intellectual artists of his time and was a great influence in restoring harmonious and deliberate design and a thorough understanding of color combination to painting at a time when sketching from nature had become the mode.

 What Seurat left out of 'La Grande Jatte' csmonitor.com
Seurat, for many art historians, is the anti-Impressionist.
The Art Institute also worked with scientists and X-ray equipment to learn the order in which the figures were painted, how they were changed along the way, and how some of the pigments have changed over the years.
But Seurat once told an interviewer, "I found myself while studying others," and the Art Institute's exhibit elegantly demonstrates that claim.

 Georges Seurat (Getty Museum)
Seurat even experimented when he was not using color; in his Conté-crayon drawings, for instance, the artist renounced line in favor of large, velvety masses of dark merging with middle tones and luminous highlights created by blank paper.
He exhibited once at the Salon but showed his work more frequently in the Salon des Indépendants and with Les XX, Brussel's avant-garde exhibition society.
The child of comfortably wealthy parents, Georges Seurat did his first professional training in 1878 at the École des Beaux-Arts under a pupil of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.

 Guggenheim Collection - Artist - Seurat - Biography
A portrait drawing by Seurat was selected for the 1883 Salon.
At his parents' request, the contents of Seurat's studio were classified and, after a proposed gift to the Louvre was refused, dispersed among Madeleine Knobloch (his common-law wife) and several of Seurat's followers.
In addition to numerous smaller works, Seurat created seven major paintings, the best-known of which is perhaps Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte (1884—86, Art Institute of Chicago) first exhibited in the Eighth Impressionist Exhibition in 1886.

 Metroactive Stage Sunday in the Park With George
The first act is set in 19th-century France, where Seurat works on his future masterpiece as he struggles for recognition among his fellow artists and tries to keep his relationship with his mistress, Dot, from falling apart.
In the latter half of the play, Seurat's great grandson, also an artist named George (also portrayed by Babin), struggles with the dilemma of patronage--he needs financial support to continue his work, but understandably balks at kowtowing to his sponsors.
S HAKESPEARE asserted that all the world's a stage, but to 19th-century pointillist painter George Seurat it was a canvas.

 Haber's Art Reviews: Paul Signac and Helen Frankenthaler
Seurat asks for the perfect unity of mathematical perspective and surface order, with diagonals of pure tone and horizontals of art.
Sure, Seurat or Cézanne leads to an art of daring and struggle, modernity's an anti-utopian side.
Signac takes up George Seurat's painstaking dots and analysis of primary colors, but he leaves daubs of whatever paint he chooses.

 Amazon.com: Books: Seurat and the Making of La Grande Jatte
That Seurat would be a revolutionary figure in the history of art is rather surprising, but his theory of "divided color" would lead to his distinctive style of pointillism.
The exhibition looks not only at Seurat's early work, such as a sketch for "Bathing Place, Asnières" (1883-84) and the studies that he did for this painting, but also the works of Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro, that Seurat admired.
Then there are works by Paul Signac and Lucien Pissarro, both of whom shared Seurat's interest in the divided-color/pointillist technique and which were featured in the same room at the exhibition that first presented "La Grande Jatte" to the world at the eight Impressionist exhibition in May 1886.

 WebMuseum: Seurat, Georges: Un dimanche après-midi à l'Ile de la Grande Jatte
Prior to its acquisition by the Art Institute of Chicago, the painting was owned successively by Seurat's mother, Maximillien Luce, Edmond Cousturier, and Charles Vildrac.
One becomes absorbed in the geometric order that Seurat has imposed on the scene and this certainly is an opposite value to that of Impressionism.
Pissarro, Signac and other artists attracted by the pointilliste method were somewhat led astray by the assumption that it opened up a new prospect solely in terms of translating light into colour.

 Seurat, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
"Seurat spent two years painting this picture, concentrating painstakingly on the landscape of the park before focusing on the people; always their shapes, never their personalities.
"Seurat's Grande Jatte is one of those rare works of art that stand alone; its transcendence is instinctively recognized by everyone.
His theory was optical: the conviction that painting in dots, known as pointillism or divisionism, would produce a brighter color than painting in strokes.

The technique of pointillism Seurat employed here was adopted by a group of his followers, the neoimpressionists, and was extensively used in early 20th-century art.
From this time on Seurat concentrated on a small number of large paintings, epitomizing in their subjects the life-style of contemporary bourgeois Paris.

Georges Seurat died in 1891, aged only 32, and yet in a career that lasted little more than a decade he revolutionized technique in painting, spearheaded a new movement, Neoimpressionism, and bought a degree of scientific rigour to his investigations of colour that would prove profoundly influential well into the 20th century.
This was a method of painting around colour contrasts in which shade and tone are built up through dots of paint (pointillism) that emphasise the complex inter-relation of light and shadow.

 Seurat
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.
Georges Seurat had a brief working life during which he produced six major compositions on the theme of modern urban life.
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.

The project was called Seurat because like his paintings, the Web has so many layers or points where a possible attack might occur.
