GEORGES SEURAT. Gray Weather, Grande Jatte

Gray Weather, Grande Jatte. Artist: Georges Seurat (French, Paris 1859-1891 Paris). Dimensions: 27 3/4 x 34 in. (70.5 x 86.4 cm). Date: ca. 1886-88.
This view extends from the island of La Grande Jatte, framed by trees, to the red-roofed houses of the Paris suburb of either Asnières or Courbevoie across the Seine. Seurat had earlier celebrated this stretch of the river with his ambitious compositions <i>Bathers at Asnières</i> (1883-84, National Gallery, London) and <i>A Sunday on La Grande Jatte</i> (1884-86, Art Institute of Chicago). Here he sought "to transcribe most exactly the vivid outdoor clarity [of nature] in all its nuances" using a technique known as Divisionism (also called Pointillism). The painted border was added shortly before the picture was first exhibited in 1889.
