Georges Seurat (1859–1891), known for pioneering the Neo-Impressionist technique of using small dots of pure colour, developed a luminous and atmospheric style that evolved notably through his repeated engagement with maritime themes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book brings together paintings, oil sketches, and drawings produced during five summers spent on France’s northern coast between 1885 and 1890, in towns such as Honfleur, Port-en-Bessin, and Gravelines. These works, featuring seascapes, regattas, and harbour scenes, contrast with Seurat’s better-known Parisian imagery and reflect his desire to escape studio confines and depict the clarity of natural light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe catalogue highlights how these works deepened Seurat’s exploration of colour and form and played a vital role in expanding his influence. Drawn from global collections, the works reaffirm Seurat’s lasting artistic significance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44016046932033,"sku":"9781913645908","price":61.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/3179\/3984\/files\/seuratandthesea.jpg?v=1780641449","url":"https:\/\/qagoma.store\/products\/seurat-and-the-sea","provider":"QAGOMA Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
