Cole features Georges Seurat's Circus Sideshow. Seurat's painting of the grand entrance to tile Cirque Corvi, Circus Sideshow, features a trombonist in a conical hat who entertains a crowd of people ...waiting to see the show. Circus Sideshow, unlike Seurat's previous works, was painted and designed to be viewed under gaslight. Consequently, the pattern of colored dots in this painting was resistant to distortion by yellow illumination. Artificial lighting also allowed Seurat to use zones of illumination, rather than a conventional technique such as foreshortening, to indicate which objects were closer and which were farther away.

Cole talks about Georges Seurat's painting, The Gardener, featured in the cover of the May 11, 2011 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The painting could hardly be called a ...portrait, because the details of the subject's face are obscured; nor is it a study for a larger painting, because the gardener does not appear in Seurat's major works. It is an exercise in the use of color to achieve specific effects. Seurat's purpose in making The Gardener and other paintings of workers was not to reveal the personalities of the subjects but to work out the solutions to painting problems he found challenging.
It is generally believed that the reception of the art of Georges Seurat from the 1920s to the 1960s was shaped by modernist art historians and critics in the United States, Britain, and France by ...means dominated by formalism. This view overlooks the interpretation of Seurats painting by André Breton, Surrealisms main theorist. Although the Surrealist Seurat initially seems entirely unlikely, Bretons lifelong fascination with the artist and long-standing espousal of the dialectical method ultimately yielded not only a new, counterintuitive interpretation of Seurats work but also a rethinking of the entire "project" of modern art itself.

French surrealism at mid-twentieth century was marked (some would say, marred) by André Breton’s new-found interest in esoteric knowledge—a period, argues Gavin Parkinson in his latest book, in which ...surrealism “willingly entered a critical and theoretical wilderness with its advocacy of magic and occultism in its art, poetry and theory, and its insistence on the ‘indispensable condition of enchantment’—the impenetrable nucleus of resistance to human inquiry that exists within any system of knowledge” (322). By examining surrealist commentary on the four painters who would come to dominate the canon of French modernism at the turn of the twentieth century—Paul Cézanne, Georges Seurat, Paul Gauguin, and Vincent van Gogh—Parkinson identifies an alternative path for twentieth-century art in resistance to the formalist one that ultimately positioned these painters as the forerunners to mid-century abstraction. Reasoning mainly from the works themselves, as opposed to relying on the written testimonies of Breton and other critics sympathetic to surrealism, Parkinson draws together a constellation of historical, topographical, procedural and medium-based effects and processes to form a suggestive image of “light” as it was interpreted within surrealism.
Two art exhibits are reviewed: Degas: A New Vision, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, from October 16, 2016 – January 16, 2017, and Seurat’s Circus Sideshow, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, ...from February 17 – May 29, 2017.
This paper presents a novel example‐based stippling technique that employs a simple and intuitive concept to convert a color image into a pointillism painting. Our method relies on analyzing and ...imitating the color distributions of Seurat's paintings to obtain a statistical color model. Then, this model can be easily combined with the modified multi‐class blue noise sampling to stylize an input image with characteristics of color composition in Seurat's paintings. The blue noise property of the output image also ensures that the color points are randomly located but remain spatially uniform. In our experiments, the multivariate goodness‐of‐fit tests were adopted to quantitatively analyze the results of the proposed and previous methods, further confirming that the color composition of our results are more similar to Seurat's painting style than that of previous approaches. Additionally, we also conducted a user study participated by artists to qualitatively evaluate the synthesized images of the proposed method.
Gorges Seurat (1859-1891) ist beruhmt fur seine auerordentliche Technik des Pointillismus. Er war ein Maler, dessen einzigartige Zusammenfuhrung von Kunst und Wissenschaft atemberaubende Kunstwerke ...hervorbrachte. Wenngleich Seurats komplexe Bildkompositionen Jahre fur die Fertigstellung in Anspruch nehmen konnten, sollten die vollendeten Werke den Betrachter in ihrer wissenschaftlichen Genauigkeit und kunstlerischen Komplexitat beeindrucken. Und so gehort sein Un Dimanche Apres-Midi a l'Ile de la Grande Jatte(Sonntagnachmittag auf der Insel La Grande Jatte) zu den bekanntesten Kunstwerken des 20. Jahrhunderts.
