No other visual theme so well illustrates the tremendous innovations in Seurat’s paintings and drawings as the focus of this volume: the figure in space. The artist’s dense weave of pencil strokes cover the paper, making his indeterminate, floating motifs either stand out or disappear, while distinct light and dark contrasts surround and accentuate the figures. In his paintings, Seurat transposed his subjects into his technique, Pointillism, as well as into his innovative compositions. In later pieces, he even repeated and varied human forms within a single work. For his increasingly geometrical visual composition, which subordinates the individual elements to a system, he earned the admiration of the Bauhaus. \u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003e(German edition \u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\"\u003eISBN 978-3-7757-2438-8; French edition ISBN 978-3-7757-2440-1)\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Kunsthaus Zürich, October 2, 2009–January 17, 2010 | Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, February 4–May 9, 2010\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874845192456,"sku":"9783775724395","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775724395_54c3c2e5-d168-4a98-9291-68f43546f805.jpg?v=1744067536","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16225-georges-seurat","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
