Biography

Georges Seurat was born in Paris, France, on December 2, 1859. He studied art at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was influenced by the work of the Impressionists.

In Pointillism, small dots of color are applied to the canvas to create a sense of unity and surface texture.

Seurat died in Paris on March 29, 1891, at the age of 31. He is buried in the Cimetière du Père Lachaise in Paris.
