Who Is Georges Seurat A Sunday On La Grande Jatte
The impression piece I choose is “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte”. It is a work of Georges Seurat painted in 1884 depicting a relaxed Paris setting northeast of the city by the Seine River.
The work itself is different from the style of the day which had heavy brushwork involvement. This work by Georges Seurat was based on a technique called the “pointless”. This technique is based on the artist making his impression through a series of colored points instead of the use of the brushwork. The colors used in points, vertical and horizontal lines reflect various modes of gay, calm or sad. Warm luminous colors are portrayed by red, orange and yellow whiles dark, cool hues of green and violet evoke sadness.
