Georges Seurat Art

Georges Seurat (December 2, 1859 – March 29, 1891) was a painter who was born in Paris. He attended Ecole Municipale de Sculpture et Dessin where he first studied art. It was close to their boulevard Magenta home where they had moved to from 60 rue de Bondy. Seurat later moved to École des Beaux-Arts in 1878 and got trained by Henri Lehmann, got academic training and took his own practice to copy the works of other artists, including the works of old masters. He finished his formal art studies in November 1879 after which joined the military for a year. After completing his training at the Brest Military Academy, he went back to Paris and continued to create artistic works, sharing an art studio with Aman-Jean. While there, he spent a lot of his time, working to master monochrome drawing. In 1883, his work was exhibited for the first time at the Salon, a strict art platform. The art piece was a drawing of his friend Aman-Jean. To further master color, he carefully studied Eugene Delacroix art, adding immensely to his understanding of color. Seurat’s artistic skills grew and his understanding of color use led to his firmly held belief that as a painter, he could use color to express emotions and harmony. As a result of his high quality artistic works, he has seen many of his creative pieces sell widely, including Georges Seurat framed art being bought by individuals who need ready to install art pieces.
