The Modernism of Manet and Seurat - 4 - Georges Seurat, Bathers at Asnières, A Sunday Afternoon

Описание: Modernist historians, particularly the influential Alfred Barr of MoMA, elevated Georges Seurat to the status of a precursor of modern art. His most famous work, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, is now exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago and was first shown at the last Impressionist exhibition in 1886. The painting applies Chevreul and Rood's rules of optical mixing of primary colours, giving rise to Divisionism, also known as Pointillism. While he inspired future abstract painters, he also depicted his own era using an adapted pictorial language.
