Georges Seurat was a French Post-Impressionist painter and pioneer of Pointillism, a technique using tiny dots of color to create images. His masterpiece A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte exemplifies his scientific approach to color and light. Seurat combined meticulous draftsmanship with innovative color theory to create luminous, structured compositions. Though his career was short, Seurat’s methodical style bridged Impressionism and modern art, influencing movements like Neo-Impressionism and Cubism.
