Synopsis
Georges Seurat (1859-1891) was only 31 when he died, but during his short life he created hundreds of drawings, oil sketches, and paintings on canvas that introduced a fresh perspective in European painting.As a student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he carefullly observed the work of Delacroix and became fascinated with the interplay between light and color. In doing so, he developed Divisionism, using small dabs of paint from the point of the brush to create pointilist images that shimmered with luminescence and hinted at movement.In this accessible introduction to Seurat, meet an artist driven by a need to capture nature and the simple pleasures of life through a new language of painting.

Gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Georges Seurat (1859-1891) war erst 31 Jahre alt, als er starb, aber in seinem kurzen Leben schuf er Hunderte von Zeichnungen, Ölskizzen und Gemälden auf Leinwand, die eine neue Perspektive in die europäische Malerei einführten. Als Student an der École des Beaux-Arts in Paris beobachtete er aufmerksam die Arbeiten von Delacroix und war fasziniert vom Zusammenspiel von Licht und Farbe. So entwickelte er den Divisionismus, bei dem er mit kleinen Farbtupfern aus der Pinselspitze pointilistische Bilder schuf, die leuchtend schimmerten und Bewegung andeuteten. In dieser Einführung zu Seurat lernen Sie einen Künstler kennen, der von dem Bedürfnis getrieben wurde, die Natur und die einfachen Freuden des Lebens durch eine neue Sprache der Malerei zu erfassen.
