Title: Seurat and the avant-garde
First published: 1997
Description: Challenging the assumption that Seurat's work was scientific or that it expressed a serious commitment to anarchism, this text traces the painter's involvement with the various factions of the avant-garde and shows that he was perhaps the earliest exponent of Idealism in modern art.
