Georges Seurat. Figure in Space
GERMANY
FRANKFURT • Schirn Kunsthalle • 4 February - 9 May 2010

Exploring the visual concepts of the Impressionists and contemporary scientific discoveries of color theory, Seurat developed a painting technique that became famous as Pointillism, an important source of inspiration for later artists. Seurat's works are meticulously composed from countless juxtaposed small dots of paint, which are blended by the viewer's retina into stunning worlds of color. With around 60 paintings, oil studies, and drawings from public and private collections in London, Paris, Zurich, New York, and San Francisco, this exhibition will provide a representative overview while focusing on one significant aspect of Seurat's oeuvre: the figure in space.
