GEORGES SEURAT AND POINTILLISM
Georges Seurat was an artist who lived in Paris, France in the late 1800’s. He started to explore the science of optics and color in his artwork and developed the style of Pointillism.
Instead of mixing colors together on a paint palette or canvas, he experimented with creating tiny dots of color next to each other on a canvas. This would trick your eye into mixing the colors together to form the picture.
When you look at Seurat’s paintings up close you can see all the tiny dots and individual colors, as you move farther away, your eyes blend the colors together and you can see the image as a whole.
