Georges Seurat (1859-1891)
Georges Seurat was French painter who founded a painting style called pointillism. He began painting in the style of Impressionism but soon became more interested in scientific color theory. He is famous for using little dabs or points of pure bright color to paint. When viewed from a distance, the eye mixes the colors together.

Examples of Georges Seurat's works may be found at: National Gallery, London, UK
