Talk:Georges Seurat

message: I can see why this was marked for cleanup way back when - there is a massive treatise on the scientific technology of the day, much bigger than the story of Seurat's own life. That section was originally only two paragraphs, but I've added another. It seems as though the article was written more with displaying the scientific influences on Seurat rather than the more well-known artistic influences, which are barely (if at all) mentioned. I'm not really sure what to do about that, so more insight into this would be very helpful. -Aeinome 06:16, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The explanation of the scientific influences might fit better into the Pointillism article. I started to extract it, but it is written with a Seurat focus and I didn't get very far. >>sparkit|TALK<< 03:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

message: This article mentions that shortly after Seurat's death in 1891 that a second son was born (name unknown) - this is a major surpirse to me! I have not read anywhere that Seurat had a second son. I doubt if this statement is correct. What is the evidence?

replies: text: Wistou's recent edit seems judicious. The CDC page which is our source says that Madeleine Knobloch was pregnant in early 1891, and that sometime after Seurat's death she gave birth to a child  who died at or shortly after birth. But the source does not specify the sex of the child, or address the question of paternity. Ewulp (talk) 12:18, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Here: http://www.allpaintings.org/v/Impressionism/Georges-Pierre+Seurat/  are 150 images from Seurat's works. Images have the year, genre, support and localization.  It's an interesting link.

*Support. More familiar as Georges Seurat, as the search results below show. Most likely the only reason the Google Books result is less lopsided than others is because many books (e.g. the 2007 MOMA catalog) document his full birth name once, while referring to him as Georges Seurat throughout the remainder of the book.

thread_title: Survey

message: A user has twice changed the caption for Le Chahut, saying that it was in the collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. In fact the Albright-Knox piece is a study. The work pictured in the article is the version in the Kröller-Müller Museum, as may be confirmed by comparing it to the Albright-Knox and the Kröller-Müller versions (although the colors are somewhat off).

message: It was in 1886 and 1887, the years Van Gogh lived in Paris, that Seurat became a principal figure in the avant-garde. Vincent recognized his importance and, later, referred to Seurat as undoubtedly the leader of the Petit Boulevard artists, his own name for a new generation of young artists.
Some of these painters met in November 1887, and began exhibiting together shortly thereafter. Seurat’s influence on Van Gogh is unmistakable: the latter experimented with the same subjects, painting techniques and color combinations. Although Van Gogh later developed his own style, he continued to admire Seurat.
In one of his letters from the south of France he expressed a wish for one of his painted studies. Seurat and Van Gogh made together some paintings. One is The Seine with the Pont de la Grande Jatte  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gallery-of-art (talk • contribs) 05:49, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
