Georges Seurat (1859–1891), known for pioneering the Neo-Impressionist technique of using small dots of pure colour, developed a luminous and atmospheric style that evolved notably through his repeated engagement with maritime themes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book brings together paintings, oil sketches, and drawings produced during five summers spent on France’s northern coast between 1885 and 1890, in towns such as Honfleur, Port-en-Bessin, and Gravelines. These works, featuring seascapes, regattas, and harbour scenes, contrast with Seurat’s better-known Parisian imagery and reflect his desire to escape studio confines and depict the clarity of natural light.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WW NORTON \u0026 COMPANY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47312739041458,"sku":"9781913645908","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3532\/5780\/files\/Untitleddesign_13_e58e273d-f0d6-43ea-a6a4-69133d8afeab.jpg?v=1779311624","url":"https:\/\/mfashop.mfah.org\/products\/seurat-and-the-sea","provider":"The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
