  • THE COVER
    Cole, Thomas B

    JAMA : the journal of the American Medical Association, 05/2011, Letnik: 305, Številka: 18
    Journal Article

    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.
