Georges Seurat

Georges Pierre Ouratéité a French post-impressionist artist. He designed the techniques of painting known as chromolinarism and pointillism and used the contained pencil for drawings on rough surface. The artistic personality of Seurat combined qualities that are usually considered to be opposite and incompatible: On the one hand, its extreme and delicate sensitivity, on the other hand, a passion for logical abstraction and an almost mathematical precision of mind. His large-scale work on a Sunday afternoon on the island of Grande Jatte (1884-1886) modified the orientation of modern art by initiating neo-impressionism, and is one of the icons of painting from the end of the 19th century.
