A Sunday at the Grand Jatte by Georges Seurat (1859-1891)
Georges Seurat a French post-impressionist painter. A Sunday at the Grand Jatte took him two years to create, and it is considered one the great paintings of the late 19th century, credited with initiating neo-impressionism. Seurat compared art to music in a letter year he wrote to a friend a year before his death: “Art is Harmony. Harmony is the analogy of the contrary and of similar elements of tone, of colour and of line. In tone, lighter against darker. In colour, the complementary, red-green, orange-blue, yellow-violet. In line, those that form a right-angle. The frame is in a harmony that opposes those of the tones, colours and lines of the picture, these aspects are considered according to their dominance and under the influence of light, in gay, calm or sad combinations". This painting inspired movement three of Stephen Paulus’s Art Suite, for cello and piano. Paulus’s music expresses the warmth of the sunny day and its peaceful serenity.
