You two have done a Fantastic job, as usual. I like your observations , knowledge and excitement. Oh and of course this is a great work of art.

Thank you for your insights! I use these videos to help teach my students about art analysis.

I'm reminded of the line from "Sunday in the Park with George," where the establishment artist laughs at this painting and says, "I must paint a factory next!"

Thanks for this video! I live right there, which as an art historian is incredibly inspiring.

Seurat's execution of pointillism (or optical mixture, etc.) is definitely unique and still seemingly timeless in his style.

i never noticed the optical blending.. I guess that's the point lol.

George Seurat was never affiliated with the Impressionist movement, his artistic training began at the Ecole de Beau Art, the Academy, which was interrupted by year of military service. This painting, as with his other large paintings were thought out with the same thoroughness and predetermined design as with any of the old school, academic paintings.
