This Art Book with Foreword by Maria Peitcheva contains 180 selected color plates of drawings and paintings from Georges Seurat.An important Post-Impressionist French painter; Georges Seurat moved away from the apparent spontaneity and rapidity of Impressionism and developed a structured; more monumental art to depict modern urban life. For several of his large compositions; Seurat painted many small studies. He is chiefly remembered as the pioneer of the Neo-Impressionist technique commonly known as Divisionism; or Pointillism; an approach associated with a softly flickering surface of small dots or strokes of color. His innovations derived from new quasi-scientific theories about color and expression; yet the graceful beauty of his work is explained by the influence of very different sources.
