3 Georges-Pierre Seurat Georges Seurat was a French painter born on December 2, 1859 in Paris, France. He was the founder of Neo-impressionism. Seurat was born in Paris. His father was a legal official and a native of Champagne; his mother was Parisian. Seurat first studied art with Justin Lequien, a sculptor. Seurat attended the école des Beaux-Arts in 1878 and After a year of service at the military academy, he returned to Paris in He shared a small studio on the Left Bank with two student friends before moving to a studio of his own. For the next two years he devoted himself to mastering the art of black and white drawing. He spent 1883 on his first major painting - a huge canvas titled Bathing at Asniéres. In 1884 he and other artists (including Maximilien Luce) formed the Société des Artistes Indépendants. There he met and became friends with fellow artist Paul Signac. Seurat shared his new ideas about pointillism with Signac, who subsequently painted in the same style. In the summer of 1884 Seurat began work on his masterpiece, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, which took him two years to complete. Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte shows people of all different classes in a park. The tiny juxtaposed dots of multi- colored paint allow the eye of the viewer to blend colors optically, rather than having the colors blended on the canvas or pre-blended as a material pigment. It took Seurat two years to complete this ten foot wide painting, and he spent much time in the park sketching to prepare for the work. It is now exhibited in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. Seurat died on March 29, 1891 from meningitis, and was buried in Cimetiére du Pére-Lachaise. His last artwork, The Circus, was left unfinished at the time of his death.
