Features: As the founder of Neo-Impressionism, Georges Seurat was born into a wealthy yet somewhat eccentric family. His father was a highly capable official but an extreme mystic, eccentric, and preferred not to live with his family. Seurat inherited this personality, with an extremely strong curiosity and meticulousness in his work. In his short life, he pursued his own theories and pioneered a new painting style. This book primarily introduces Georges Seurat and his works, including chapters on Seurat, his artistic career, "Between Order and Disorder," style and technique, the science of light and color, close-ups of masterpieces, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," selected works explained, "Bathers at Asnières," "Bridges over the Marne at Courbevoie," "La Chasse au cerf," "La Grande Odalisque," "The Powdered Girl," world-famous museums, and the Kr?ller-Müller National Museum.
