Georges Seurat

Georges Seurat The creator of Pointillism was born December 2, 1859 in Paris, France. Seurat’s first introduction and art lesson were introduced by his uncle. In 1875 he began attending attending a local art school, and started his first formal art lessons under sculptor Justin Lequien. Then he started training under artist Henri Lehmann when he attended École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1878 to 1879. However, Seurat choose to leave the school and continue to study on his own. He was very influenced by Impressionist painters Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, and their way of representing light and atmosphere through their paintings. Another fascination Seurat had was the science behind art. Principles of Harmony and Contrast of Colors, written…

He was also a very experienced artists, since he joined several organizations, including the army. Maximilien Luce had a very interesting life, he was always shifting between the different types of art. Maximilien Luce may not have been very famous when he was alive, because of his anarchist beliefs, he became known after his death and his work was also praised by later artists. He had a very unique style of painting, it was inspired by many things, the largest being Seurat. Maximilien Luce…

Sculpture gallery on the second floor. There were many famous European paintings, which made me in a daze. I was attracted by several pictures at the beginning, but finally I chose Georges Seurat’s “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte.” Some of the things that caught my eyes about the painting was the peacefulness that I felt when I looked at the picture. Also I really liked the dress of everyone in the painting because it gave me that sense of higher class rich people. I really liked all the different…

This image depicts people engaged in the activities of everyday life. However, Seurat developed a new method of applying color theory called pointillism to this image. Color theory is the understanding of how colors can relate to each other, especially when they are mixed together or in close proximity to each other. Pointillism is a style of painting where short strokes or points of differing colors are used to form new colors. This image contains a revolutionized way of perception as well as…

In the late 1880s Georges Seurat and Paul Signac began a painting technique called pointillism. The technique relies the human brain’s ability to merge individual marks of color into bright smears and smudges—forming objects, conveying ideas, and narrating stories. From far away, each speck is part of something bigger than itself—a shadow, an umbrella, or a woman’s hat. Each speck of oil paint the pointillist marks onto his blank canvas is different in shade, texture, size, and purpose. Specks…

The four painters I am choosing to discuss are: Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh. Claude Monet was a famous French painter born on November 14, 1840(“Claude Monet”). His painting style centered more on light and form than realism, and was called impressionism. Monet showed an interest in drawing at an early age. He drew caricatures of his teachers. Eugene Boudin introduced him to painting outdoors which contributed greatly in Monet’s work. He was known…

very well known painting called A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, or A Sunday Afternoon for short, is a piece of artwork by Georges Seurat. Seurat was born on December 2, 1859 in Paris, France. He was born into a wealthy family to his parents Antoine Chrysostome Seurat and Ernestine Faivre. He attended art school for several years until he got bored of the basic art and broke free from the traditional art of that time. He went to be considered the founding father of the Neo-Impressionist art…

yrus Defeats Spargapises The art institute of Chicago is home to thousands of priceless pieces of artwork that people from all around the world come travel to see. All cultures come together to critique these pieces of artwork. The best part of this experience is the fact that an opinion isn’t wrong, everyone sees something different in their own unique way. While most stop in sublime at La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat, many people walk past it to get to the weapons section. Just a big…

I had to understand why Seurat used such a difficult technique for his work. I then came upon the theory that perhaps he wanted to produce a deeper sense of life in his paintings. All things in the world are composed of millions of cells, and these cells create objects, color, and everything that practically exists. I imagine that Seurat's motive was to utilize this scientific law in his work to give an atmosphere of life, texture, and movement in the scenes that he…

” Will believes that “the general shortening of sentences reflects, in part, a change in nature of Inaugural Addresses.” He refers to Teddy Roosevelt who called the presidency “a bully pulpit.” Later addresses have had an incentive to tell Americans how to behave with phrases such as “The only thing we have to fear…” and “Ask not…” A more popular phrase which was used by Kennedy and Nixon was “Let us…,” which according to Will means, “For Pete’s sake, pull up your socks and shape up.” The…
