Georges Seurat

1859-1891

Georges Seurat (1859-1891) was a French post-Impressionist artist known for his innovative painting techniques and his role in the development of Neo-Impressionism.

Born in Paris, Seurat studied at the École Municipale de Sculpture et Dessin and later at the École des Beaux-Arts, where he was taught by Henri Lehmann.

Seurat's artistic personality combined qualities that are usually thought of as opposed and incompatible: on the one hand, his extreme and delicate sensibility, on the other, a passion for logical abstraction and an almost mathematical precision of mind.

His large-scale work A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884–1886) altered the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-Impressionism, and is one of the icons of late 19th-century painting.
