Georges Seurat Painting Screensaver

Seurat, quiet and intense, had been classically trained at the Ecole DES Beaux-Arts. He was attracted to the Impressionists, with their different approach to art. His feeling that Impressionism lacked discipline (combined with study of scientific writings on Color Theory) led him to Create a new style: pointillism. In this, tiny, detached brushstrokes (dots, really) of Pure color are placed closely to one another on the canvas. Together they create a shining, harmonious whole composition.
