A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte

Artist: Seurat, Georges

Location: Art Institute of Chicago

I saw the study of this painting at the recent Fashion and Modernity exhibition at the Met. Even though it was drastically smaller than the original, the pointillism effect was still so breathtaking to see up close.

Recently watched Stephen Sondheim''s Sunday in the Park with George just after working on this artist. Musical theater seems like an odd choice for Seurat''s story, but it was totally fantastic. If you get a chance, watch the original version of the show.
