{"title":"Georges Seurat","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorges Seurat (born December 2, 1859, Paris, France—died March 29, 1891, Paris) was a painter and founder of the 19th-century French school of Neo-Impressionism whose technique for portraying the play of light using tiny brushstrokes of contrasting colors became known as Pointillism. Using this technique, he created huge compositions with tiny, detached strokes of pure color too small to be distinguished when looking at the entire work but making his paintings shimmer with brilliance. Works in this style include Une Baignade, Asnières (1883–84; Bathers at Asnières) and A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884 (1884–86).\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"1962-578-final-study-for-_bathers-at-asnieres_","title":"Final Study for Bathers at Asnières","description":"\u003cp\u003eFinal Study for Bathers at Asnières is a small, early preparatory oil sketch by Georges Seurat, painted around 1883, focusing on figures for his larger masterpiece, Bathers at Asnières (1884).
