Timeless Art A Sunday On La Grande Jatte 20160229
Georges Seurat spent over two years painting A Sunday Afternoon, focusing meticulously on the landscape of the park. He reworked the original as well as completed numerous preliminary drawings and oil sketches. He sat in the park, creating numerous sketches of the various figures in order to perfect their form. He concentrated on the issues of colour, light, and form. The painting is approximately 2 by 3 meters (7 by 10 feet) in size. Inspired by optical effects and perception inherent in the color theories of Michel Eugene Chevreul, Ogden Rood and others, Seurat adapted this scientific research to his painting. Seurat contrasted miniature dots or small brushstrokes of colors that when unified optically in the human eye were perceived as a single shade or hue. He believed that this form of painting, called divisionism at the time but now known as pointillism, would make the colors more brilliant and powerful than standard brush strokes. The use of dots of almost uniform size came in the second year of his work on the painting, 1885-86. -wikipedia
This is a Remastered public domain work of art with an added flair of original modern contemporary abstract creation and brilliant splashes of colors. A perfect piece of nostalgic art history that will brighten up any wall and add interest and energy to the entire room. This type of artwork would look terrific on a large canvas, and a print on paper media would look just as stunning!
