| Summary: |
"Born in the eighteen-eighties, Divisionism was an artistic movement that broke away from Impressionism. Georges Seurat, its founder, and Paul Signac, its theoretician, turned away from the rapid rendering of real life as perceived by the eye to reconstruct it according to new principles of harmony. By juxtaposing pure and complementary colors applied directly to the canvas rather than mixed on the palette, Divisionist artists revolutionized the painting of their day and had a lasting influence on the art of the twentieth century. In this catalogue, featuring texts by international specialists, and on the walls of its art center, the Fondation Pierre Arnaud traces this experiment with color, covering a period from 1880 to 1950."--Back cover. |
