Nocturne wednesday

Georges Seurat was one of the most audacious and innovative artist of the 1880s. His large painting of 1884, 'Bathers at Asnières', dominates this room. Working lads, on a day off, relax on the banks of the Seine in an industrial suburb to the west of Paris. Seurat invests the plebeian subject with a grandeur and solemnity reminiscent of ancient Egyptian art.

Description   
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.
