What a beautiful Seurat! I've never seen that one; where is it located?

I love the frame-within-a-frame and how the color changes as it goes around to complement the painting itself.

You can see that he is even more scientific than Cezanne, and his work can be seen as a preamble to such works in the 20th century as Cubism.

And there is rarely a real line in his work. It's all just little dots.

I not only appreciate the posted art and background material, but your learned comments are multiplying my art appreciation by a factor of a zillion.

I admit to liking tha Matisse floral painting, but don't think it necessarily comes off very well by comparison to the 117th century De Heem, which includes lizards and bugs.

After seeing the De Heem painting, I begin to understand why there was tulip (investment) bubble in the Netherlands, with which the painting was contemporary.

I always love pointiallism too. It seemed like Seurat was painting a TV image or a newspaper picture.
