Seurat's 'Bathers at Asnières' was painted before he invented his famous pointillist technique, but he did later rework parts of this picture using dots of colour. For example, dots of orange and blue were added to the boy's hat. Find out more: http://bit.ly/1CB0eSR

Spotlight
Neoimpressionist painter Georges Seurat was born on this date in 1859. Leader of the movement that used pointillism to create richer colors, Seurat applied his interest in science to his art. He used a method that he referred to as "chromoluminarism," dabbing short strokes of contrasting colors on the canvas so that, from a distance, they would appear as a fuller palette of colors. Seurat's masterpiece, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, took two years to complete. Today, it hangs in the Art Institute of Chicago.

The atmospheric quality of George Seurat’s “The Lighthouse at Honfleur” is the result of an optical illusion. Seurat meticulously juxtaposed minute touches of unmixed pigments that combine visually when viewed from a distance. This technique, called pointillism or divisionism, was invented by Seurat as an objective, scientific form of impressionism. He selected hues corresponding to the perceived local color, the color of light, the complement of the local color (for shadows), and the color of nearby areas.
Seurat debuted his masterpiece, “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte,” in the 1886 Impressionist exhibition in Paris amid great controversy. Following the event, Seurat spent the summer relaxing at Honfleur, a coastal resort near La Havre, where he painted this placid scene of the local lighthouse.

OVERVIEW
Seurat showed works similar to The Lighthouse at Honfleur in 1886 at the eighth and last impressionist exhibition, an event that established him as a leading modernist. Based on new theories about optical characteristics of light and color, Seurat invented a technique called pointillism, or divisionism, as a scientifically objective form of impressionism. Seurat juxtaposed minute touches of unmixed pigments in hues corresponding to the perceived local color, the color of light, the complement of the local color for shadow, and reflected color of nearby areas, which in principle will combine visually when viewed from the proper distance. This meticulous technique, less random than impressionism, enabled Seurat to record appearances more accurately while preserving the fresh, natural qualities he admired in impressionist works.
Following the intensive studio campaign leading to the exhibition of Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande-Jatte (Art Institute of Chicago), a controversial work also shown at the 1886 exhibition, Seurat spent the summer at Honfleur, a coastal resort near Le Havre. He relaxed by painting local landmarks such as the hospice and lighthouse in The Lighthouse at Honfleur. Balancing warm blond tones in the sand and lighthouse with cool blues in the sky and water and constructing a stable composition around the horizontals of the jetty and horizon crossed by the vertical tower, Seurat created a work of majestic serenity.
