A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat is one of my favorite paintings. A few years ago I had the pleasure of standing in front of this massive masterwork at the Art Institute of Chicago while having an expert show me a few of the painting hidden secrets.
You may, if you grew up in the 80’s like I did remember this painting from the 1986 moving Ferris Bueller’s Day Off where Matthew Broderick’s character skips school and, in one scene becomes lost in this painting.
Seurat used a technique called pointillism to create his painting. Simply put pointillism is the of making dots of color lay side by side or on top of each other such that when you step back you don’t see the original color or the dot but rather the mixture of color and the images created by the thousands of individual points.
The experience of seeing “A Sunday Afternoon” up close versus stepping back and taking the painting in from a distance couldn’t be more diametrically opposed. So, how does Seurat’s painting, the technique he used an the simple act of laying one dot of color next to another teach us about how our brain works and how we can harness if for peak performance? That’s what we will be exploring today on The EVOLVE Podcast.
