author

Georges Seurat

description

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: Art Institute, Chicago, USA.

One of the most famous paintings by Seraut. While depicting the landscape and resting people, the artist concentrated on colors, form and light. Small points contrast with each other, but from a distance they seem to be a single color. Now this style is known as pointillism.
