Georges Pierre Seurat was a French post-Impressionist artist. He is best known for devising the painting techniques known as chromoluminarism and pointillism. Seurat's conté crayon drawings are well worth a look.

Georges Seurat (b. France, 1859) - Model in Profile - 1886 A figure sits in profile on a low stool, facing our right, with left ankle resting on right knee. Although the figure is naked, the arm is placed to obscure the whole of the front of the torso, and the genitals are indistinct. The skin is pale, the hair short and brown (looking like a cloche hat), and the face is indistinct but ruddy or brown. The picture clearly demonstrates Seurat's technique of creating a picture by applying thousands and thousands of individual dots and dabs of colour.

Seurat's #pointilism / #divisionism / #chromoluminarism techniques (placing small points or patches of pure paint next to each other to create a desired colour effect, rather than mixing them on the palette and then applying to large areas) prompted the era of #NeoImpressionism / #PostImpressionism.
