Seurat : A Praeger World of Art Profile

description

Monograph on Georges Seurat by John Russell. "In a richly illustrated study, John Russell, art critic of the London Sunday Times, presents an authoritative survey of Seurat's life and art. Carefully interpreting both the famous canvases and what Suerat's colleague Paul Signac called 'the most beautiful painter's drawings in existence,' Mr. Russell goes on to assess the influence of Seurat's art on later movements. His legacy was enormous, contends the critic, for in Seurat's heritage 'there has turned out to be something ... for almost every subsequent artist of consequence.' To Cubism, he left his concept of space; to Art Nouveau, the eloquence of his arabesque; to Futurism, his notation of pure energy; and to Orphism, his systematic use of divided color. Seurat brings to life the background and meaning of this legacy." -- from verso cover. Includes list of illustrations and index.
