Once described as “the most beautiful painter’s drawings in existence,” Georges Seurat’s mysterious and luminous works on paper played a crucial role in his short, vibrant career. This comprehensive exhibition√¢‚Ǩ‚Äùthe first in almost twenty-five years to focus exclusively on Seurat’s drawings√¢‚Ǩ‚Äùwill present over 135 works, primarily the artist’s incomparable cont√ɬ© drawings along with a small selection of oil sketches and paintings. Surveying the artist’s entire oeuvre, from his academic training through the emergence and elaboration of his unique methods to the studies made for his monumental canvases (such as the renowned A Sunday on La Grande Jatte), the exhibition will also present important new research on his artistic strategies and materials.
