Rewald, John

Examines the life of artist Georges Seurat and follows the development of his ideas to their completion; includes reproductions of paintings and original sketches.

Text and 270 reproductions survey the life of the French painter from his boyhood, through tumultuous Paris years, friendships with leading artists and intellectuals in the late 19th century, to his last lonely but creative years.

Reproductions and text present critical commentary on the artist and his work.
