[[Image:Seurat Jatte.jpg|thumb|300px|Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte]]'''George-Pierre Seurat''' (1859 – 1891) was a [[French]] Neo-Impressionist [[painter]], known for being good with colors. He applied the theories of [[Eugene Chevreul]] to create a technique known as [[pointillism]], whereby small dots of color appear to combine to create the illusion of entirely different colors.
His masterpiece, ''Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte'', hangs in the [[Art]] Institute of Chicago. Its first public appearance was in Paris at the eighth [[Impressionist]] exhibition in May, 1886.
