What is seurat famous for?

Asked by Wiki User

The artist, Georges Seurat, was famous for creating paintings by using innovative pointillism and optical color mixture techniques. Instead of mixing colors, say blue and yellow to make green, before applying them on canvas, he would apply tiny dots of blue and tiny dots of yellow onto the surface and allow the viewers' eyes to mix the two colors into green when they stood at a distance. His techniques were very methodical, time-consuming, and structured, and as a result, his paintings emitted the same feelings. See A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884-86). Seurat was also famous for painting subjects about the intermixing of social classes, as you can see from the previously mentioned painting.
