Collection: Georges Seurat

Georges Seurat was a French painter best known for developing Pointillism, a technique that uses tiny dots of colour to form images when viewed from a distance. Seurat sought to bring structure and scientific precision to the spontaneity of Impressionism, applying theories of colour and optics to his compositions. His most famous work, A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, exemplifies his meticulous style and interest in capturing modern life with clarity and harmony. Seurat’s innovative approach had a lasting influence on modern art, bridging the gap between Impressionism and abstraction.
