Seurat
Who invented the art form pointillism?
Georges Seurat founded the Pointillism art movement in 1886 with his painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The term Pointillism was first coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists, and is now used without its earlier mocking connotation. Neo-Impressionism and Divisionism are also terms used to describe this technique of painting.
What are a few quotes by George Seurat?
"Some say they see poetry in my paintings; I see only science." "Painting is the art of hollowing a surface."
What George Seurat parents names?
Georges Pierre Seurat was raised in Paris, France. His father, Antoine-Chrysostome Seurat, was a customs official who was often away from home, so Seurat and his brother, Emile, and sister, Marie-Berthe, were raised primarily by their mother, Ernestine (Faivre) Seurat. Seurat received his earliest art lessons from an uncle. Later in life, he had a common-law wife, Madeleine Knoblauch and a son, Pierre-Georges Seurat.
Why did Georges Seurat produce his art?
He thought it would make an impression of more luminous color.
