Georges Seurat

Georges Pierre Seurat (2 December 1859 – 29 March 1891) is a French Post-Impressionist painter and draftsman.

He is noted for his innovative use of drawing media and for devising a technique of painting known as pointillism.

His large-scale work A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884–1886) alters the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-impressionism.

It is one of the icons of late 19th-century painting.
