Painstaking preparation for the painting involved numerous small oil sketches some of which also hang here. Later, austere landscapes show the distinctive pointillist manner of painting in small dots of color that Seurat invented.
The older artist, Camille Pissarro, was a friend and champion of Seurat, though for the most part his painting are in a more traditional impressionist style where touches of color evoke forms, allowing Pissarro to work far more quickly than his friend. |
