George Seurat

George Seurat

Seurat was a painter and the founder of the 19th-century French school of Neo-Impressionism who specialized in projecting light by using tiny brushstrokes of colors which later became known as the Pointillism. By using this he managed to create huge compositions with tiny and detached strokes of pure color of which it was too small to be recognized when looking at the entire work but making his paintings real and with brilliance.
He spent his life studying color theories and the effects of different linear structures. With his 500 drawings alone they established Seurat as a well-known artist but he will mostly be remembered for his technique called pointillism which uses small dots or strokes of color to create subtle changes in form.
