Georges Seurat, think "Circles, Unified, Rays, Attention, Techniques."
His style, Pointillism (a branch of Neo-Impressionism), is defined by:
- Tiny, distinct dots of pure color: Applied methodically, these dots blend optically in the viewer's eye to create a luminous, vibrant image.
- Scientific approach to color theory: Seurat meticulously studied color relationships and optics to achieve specific visual effects.
- Formal composition and geometric structure: Unlike the fleeting moments captured by Impressionists, Seurat's paintings are carefully planned and balanced.
- Themes of modern leisure and urban life: Though inspired by everyday scenes, Seurat's works often present a detached, almost monumental view of people in parks or at the circus.
