Bathers at Asnières - Georges Seurat
No point in Georges Seurat's work is left to chance. The entire composition, taken from the banks of the Seine, is studied with the rigorous logic of a mathematical problem. Indeed, he detaches himself from the instinctive technique of the impressionists and is interested in the theory of colors in order to invent the technique of pointillism. Of this animation which could have been turbulent, Seurat gives us a vision of immobility, of silence, of solitude which translates well his personality.
