Georges Seurat By Julian Ossa November 2011
Early Years • Born in a rich family • Father’s name was Antoine • Mother’s name was Ernestine
Young Adult • The Ecole Des beaux-Arts 1878-1879 • Brest Military Academy • Pointillism-draws in dots of color
Adult • Married Madeleine Knobloch • Had a son • Died of meningitis • Son died same way soon after
Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte His masterpiece-took him 2 years to complete.
Bathers at Asnieres Was not hung in the salon but behind a bar.
Circus His last work which was not finished.
Why he is important Georges Seurat is important because he invented and used a different technique called pointillism. Pointillism means painting in dots of color.
Favorite Facts I like the fact that he created and used pointillism. I also liked the fact that he uses bright colors and contrast like in his Circus painting.
Reactions and Opinions I think his paintings are really nice because they make me happy and the techniques he used were really cool. I like Sunday Afternoon and Bathers paintings because they makes me feel like I’m sitting in the grass in the picture, with the people.
Thank You!!!!!!! I hoped you enjoyed this presentation!
