Book excerpt: "... a powerful lesson in what a museum can do when it draws on its own resources." -- The Washington Times "Seen individually or as an ensemble, these compositions represent a culminating phase of Seurat's development, at once lucid, subtle, and strong.... In its clear focus upon an important aspect of Seurat's work, it nevertheless stands as a welcome addition to the literature on that preeminent master of Neo-Impressionism." -- Choice This illuminating introduction to Seurat's unusual art explores the four different views of Gravelines, a small seaport in Normandy, which Seurat painted in 1890, the summer before his death. The book contains reproductions and full documentation of Seurat's Gravelines works and analyzes Seurat's distinctive approach to color, design, and perception.

This book will appeal both to the general reader and to the student of French nineteenth-century art."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Seurat written by Sarah Carr-Gomm and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his brief career, the Parisian artist Georges Seurat produced six major canvases, sixty smaller ones, and hundreds of oil sketches and conté crayon drawings, all of which had a significant impact on the art of his time. Seurat favoured the same subjects as the Impressionists--Parisian street vendors, life along the banks of the Seine, concerts, can-can dancers, circuses, and the northern coasts of France--but he did not share the Impressionists' spontaneity. Fascinated by colour theory, he developed an individual method of painting using tiny dots, which came to be known as pointillism or divisionism, based on the idea that colours that were blended in the eye of the spectator were far more vibrant than those mixed on the palette. Despite Seurat's obsession with the science of aesthetics, however, his works have an undeniable poetry and lyricism, and they will long be regarded as some of the most haunting and distinctive images of the late nineteenth century.
Download or read book Georges Seurat written by Michelle Foa and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revelatory study of Georges Seurat (1859–1891) explores the artist’s profound interest in theories of visual perception and analyzes how they influenced his celebrated seascape, urban, and suburban scenes. While Seurat is known for his innovative use of color theory to develop his pointillist technique, this book is the first to underscore the centrality of diverse ideas about vision to his seascapes, figural paintings, and drawings. Michelle Foa highlights the importance of the scientist Hermann von Helmholtz, whose work on the physiology of vision directly shaped the artist’s approach. Foa contends that Seurat’s body of work constitutes a far-reaching investigation into various modes of visual engagement with the world and into the different states of mind that visual experiences can produce. Foa’s analysis also brings to light Seurat’s sustained exploration of long-standing and new forms of illusionism in art. Beautifully illustrated with more than 140 paintings and drawings, this book serves as an essential reference on Seurat.

Download or read book Delphi Complete Paintings of Georges Seurat (Illustrated) written by Peter Russell and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The founder of the nineteenth century French school of Neo-Impressionism, Georges Seurat devised the technique of Pointillism, portraying the play of light with tiny brushstrokes of contrasting colours. A man of studious habits and a scientific mind, Seurat employed his original technique to create huge compositions with tiny, detached strokes of pure colour too small to be distinguished when looking at the entire work, though when viewed from a distance, shimmered with brilliance. In spite of his short life, he left behind him an incredible body of work that would have a lasting impact on the history of modern art.

Download or read book Seurat written by Hajo Düchting and published by Taschen. This book was released on 2000 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges Seurat died in 1891, aged only 32, and yet in a career that lasted little more than a decade he revolutionized technique in painting, spearheaded a new movement, Neoimpressionism, and bought a degree of scientific rigour to his investigations of colour that would prove profoundly influential well into the 20th century. As a student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Seurat read Chevreul's 1839 book on the theory of colour and this, along with his own analysis of Delacroix' paintings and the aesthetic observations of scientist Charles Henry, led him to formulate the concept of Divisionism. This was a method of painting around colour contrasts in which shade and tone are built up through dots of paint (pointillism) that emphasise the complex inter-relation of light and shadow.

Book Synopsis Georges Seurat by : Christoph Becker
Download or read book Georges Seurat written by Christoph Becker and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as "the notary" by his contemporaries for his very proper disposition, Georges Seurat (1859-1891), was nonetheless a trailblazing artist, who devised mesmerizing effects in paint, creating what Museum of Modern Art, New York director Alfred Barr described as a "strange, almost breathless poise." Seurat's most famous painting, "La Grande Jatte" (1884), exemplifies the airy suspension of which "Pointillism" (as his style of painting-by-dabs was named) is uniquely capable, a sensation well suited to evoking in paint the sedate pace of Paris' new leisure class. For Seurat, Pointillism was also a way to attain for painting the mathematically explicable harmony of music: "Art is Harmony. Harmony is the analogy of the contrary and of similar elements of tone, of color and of line, considered according to their dominance and under the influence of light, in gay, calm or sad combinations," he declared in a letter to a friend. Seurat's style lent itself especially well to the portrayal of figures in space, and the endowing of those figures with volume and atmosphere. No other visual theme so well illustrates the tremendous innovations in Seurat's paintings and drawings as this handling of the figure, a theme which is at the heart of this new appraisal.

Download or read book Seurat written by Richard Thomson and published by Universe Publishing(NY). This book was released on 1990 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated monograph throws new light on the meaning and imagery of Seurat's paintings. The usual account of Seurat lays most stress on technical and formal aspects of his work. While accepting their importance, Richard Thomson seeks to redress the balance by providing a sustained analysis of Seurat's imagery and situating his work within the fluctuating intellectual and social currents of the day. To Seurat the vital subject for contemporary painting was the modern metropolis, and this book examines the critical way in which he depicted and interpreted Paris, its suburbs and its popular entertainment.

Book excerpt: En une dizaine d'années - le temps que dura sa carrière - Georges Seurat (1859-1891) a su s'imposer comme le chef de file des néo-impressionnistes. S'inspirant de la théorie du mélange optique des couleurs, il s'est attaché à apporter un fondement scientifique aux recherches chromatiques de ses prédécesseurs. Grâce à sa touche pointilliste, qu'il a portée jusqu'à un divisionnisme intégral, son art s'affirme comme une des premières tentatives modernes de fonder une peinture entièrement homogène sur des principes objectifs. À ce titre, son œuvre révolutionnaire influença une grande partie de l'avant-garde du XXe siècle.
Book Synopsis Seurat and the Avant-garde by : Paul Smith
Download or read book Seurat and the Avant-garde written by Paul Smith and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges Seurat, one of the most popular and admired of post-Impressionist painters, has been the focus of much attention in recent years. This book by Paul Smith views the artist in a new context and explodes some of the myths that have grown up about him. Challenging the assumption that Seurat's work was scientific or that it expressed a serious commitment to anarchism, Smith instead traces the painters involvement with the various factions of the avant-garde and shows that he was perhaps the earliest exponent of Idealism in modern art. Smith studies contemporary interpretations of Impressionism and analyzes how the groups surrounding Seurat constructed meaning from his art. From this investigation he creates a portrait of Seurat as one who was willing to accept, even encourage, interpretations of his art that he may not have intended. Smith shows, for example, that the "scientific" account of Seurat's color first developed by Félix Fénéon actually represents the theory and practice of Pissaro. He examines Seurat's involvement with anarchist critics and concludes that he merely posed as a painter with left-wing sympathies in order to benefit from the publicity these writers gave him. He explains that Seurat was sympathetic to Symbolism from its very inception and that he and his early Symbolist critics developed a theory of his art that was founded on Schopenhauer and Wagner's ideas on art. And he explores the ways that Seurat focused on the musicality of art and on incorporating certain "musical" features in his work. Beautifully illustrated and engagingly written, this book presents a convincing new interpretation of the work of a major artist.
