Georges Seurat once revealed that he had been ‘interested in finding an optical formula’ for painting since he was just 17 years old.
Seurat spent most of his adult life thinking about colour, studying theories, and working out systematically how one colour, placed in a series of dots, next to those of another, creates a whole different colour when it hits the retina of the human eye. How one colour can make another appear luminous bright, and vibrant.

Certainly not the original, never having been to Chicago nor having any plans to go there. And that is one of the gifts you bring to people everywhere who will never have the chance to see these magnificent works in person. Brilliant effort, as always. Thank you! 🥂

Agreed, this channel does a great job introducing everyone to art masterpieces! If you'd like to watch longer form docs analyzing great paintings - I'd recommend checking out an early 2000s BBC series - "Private Life of a Masterpiece" (if it's available for streaming in your area). Each 45min episode is a deep dive into a particular work of art (the episode they did for Seurat's Grande Jatte was really interesting; covering not only the painting itself, but also the artist, the cultural context when the painting was created, and the details of the sales-coup that secured the painting for the Art Institute of Chicago - much to the later dismay of France). Other works covered in the series include Rembrandt's the Night Watch, Vermeer's Art of Painting, Brugel's Census at Bethlehem, Van Gogh's Sunflowers - just to name a few ...

@@stevemorley Art is more than just like/dislike. I can find something not appealing but it's still valuable to know how it was developed, what the thought process was. I don't find this particular artwork super pretty, but how it was made, the symmetry, color usage, and technique, is an integral part of the artwork that's missed if I'd just think about 'meh don't like it'. This is what I watch this channel for, to understand how artists think.

These videos are so well produced they put professional studios to shame. Beautiful, compelling and the amount of information you manage to get through in a few minutes time and leaves us wanting more. Had only basic idea of pointillism before, and will never look at Seurat's works the same way again. His drawings are mesmerising. So few with facial features, even of his family. The standout being his mistress, who comes across as a complete individual. What a sad life for her as well, losing both him and her child.

One of my favorite scenes in Ferris Bueller! The little girl in white tells Cameron exactly what he needs to do in that moment with his father. The rest of the movie is him getting to the point where he can listen to her. Nighthawks is also in this scene!

A very powerful scene. I've always regarded La Grand Jatte as a painting about loneliness and social isolation, possibly echoing ideas of Marxist alienation. The little girl is a powerful symbol, speaking to Cameron of his own loneliness, trapped by the empty materialism of his father.

I can't begin to explain the impact this painting has had on my life (consumed in conjunction with of course Sondheim's Sundays in the Park with George) and although I've read so much about Seurat's technique this video does such a phenomenal job of piecing it altogether to commandeer respect for someone who so ardently stood by the science of art and could turn it into an emotion regardless of whether you feel it or not. I came across this painting as I was turning 25 and just learned from this video that Seurat was 25 when he painted it which feels so serendipitous. Incredibly in awe of this video and the painting - ty for all your work on this!

the color and the light, the geometry, so pure in this painting. So much love for it. "Sunday, by the blue, purple yellow red water, by green purple yellow red grass, let us pass, through our perfect park, pausing on a Sunday, by the cool, blue triangular water, on the soft, green elliptical grass, let us pass, through arrangements of shadows, towards the verticals of trees...forever. By the blue, purple yellow red water, on green orange violet mass - of the grass, in our perfect park, made of flecks of light, and dark, and parasols (bum bum bum, bum bum bum bum bum bum), people strolling through the trees, of a small suburban park, on an island in the river, on an ordinary Sunday" Steve Sondheim, one artist to another, bearing witness to the glory all around, and distilling it for all to enjoy, forever. Steve's greatest work, too, inspired by this painting.

The more I learn about this painting the more I’m blown away by it. Like others, I’ve seen this in person at the Art Institute of Chicago and honestly photos of it don’t do it justice.

I love it! Didn't real the labour of this painting until you mentioned it's size a lot later into the video. When it was mentioned that the first layer and the second layer both took him an year each, i thought that he was just been meticulous with his brush. But then you said- "2m*3m" and it all made sense why. By the way, i think your voice has magic in it. Because how else could i become so interested in something so far removed from my daily life. Treasure it sire, you deserve everything you desire!

I love these videos! Seurat really made a great impression on me in my childhood, I was inspired by him to make pontilism in my art classes.

My favorite painting but only after seeing it in person. It’s impossible to fully appreciate from pictures where you can’t see the thousands of dots. Great work and thank you for the explanation.

Your videos make great art even greater. You breath additional life into the art that most wouldn’t experience without your work. The pond of joy one experiences when seeing a great piece of art becomes an ocean with your explanation.

I saw the painting in Chicago 20 years ago and have been fascinated with Seurat ever since. I later lived in Prague for years and visited the National Gallery often to see one of his paintings there (plus Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, Rodin, Gauguin, Cézanne, Renoir, Schiele, Munch, Miró and Klimt). Wonderful times.

Ganz wunderbar - die unterschiedlichen Schichten von Idee, Ausführung, Gedanke, Aussage, Möglichkeit, Konstruktion, Technik und Schicksal hervorragend zusammengeführt! Stillstand ist auch Bewegung!

I was never interested in art more than thinking the painting is nice. But the background stories, thought, details about all these haveu really drawn me into it. Thanks so much! Always nice to see a video being uploaded.

Excellent! I'm glad you included Chevreul in your presentation; he had a huge impact not just on Seurat but other artists and designers of the time. He's worth an exploration in himself!
