Post-Impressionist Georges Seurat (1859-1881) is well known for his banner painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of la Grande Jatte, which is one of the prized possessions of The Art Institute of Chicago. This session will be about this painting in detail, and also about his magnificent drawings and other paintings he painted in the style he called “divisionism.”
