A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte - Georges Seurat

No point in Georges Seurat's work is left to chance. The entire composition, taken from the banks of the Seine, is studied with the rigorous logic of a mathematical problem. Indeed, he broke away from the instinctive technique of the Impressionists and became interested in the theory of colors in order to invent the technique of pointillism. Of this animation which could have been turbulent, Seurat gives us a vision of immobility, silence, solitude which translates well his personality both in this work and in Bathers at Asnières.
