Georges Seurat: Drawings and Paintings (Annotated)

By Raya Yotova

A significant Post-Impressionist artist, Seurat shifted from the visible directness and quickness of Impressionist's style and adapted one construct, more formidable art style to paint contemporary city being. For some of Seurat's spacious canvases, he sketched a lot of preparatory studies. Seurat is mainly kept in mind as the initiator of the Neo-Impressionist movement usually noted as Pointillism or Divisionism, a terming related with a gently quivering area of slim points or hatches of coloring.
