Georges Seurat (1859-1891) was a French painter who is best known for developing the technique of Pointillism, a style of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. He was a leading figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement, which emphasized scientific theory and the use of color in art.
Seurat was born in Paris, France, and studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He initially painted in a more traditional style, but began experimenting with new techniques after being influenced by Impressionism and Japanese prints. He began to develop the technique of Pointillism in the 1880s, which he used to create some of his most famous works, such as “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” (1884-1886).
Seurat’s paintings are known for their precise, scientific approach to color, and his use of Pointillism allowed him to create vibrant, luminous images that have a distinctive visual impact. He died at a young age of 31 due to an illness, but his artistic innovations and contributions to the development of modern art have had a lasting influence on the world of art.
