Seurat, Signac, Van Gogh
Ways of Pointillism
Until 8 January 2017
When Georges Seurat died unexpectedly in 1891 at the age of 31, his older colleague Camille Pissarro already had an inkling that Seurat’s invention was to have consequences for painting that would be highly significant later on. And indeed, with just a few pictures, Seurat had founded a style that would play a pioneering role in Modern Art: Pointillism.
This fascinating art movement is now the focus of a high-calibre exhibition at the ALBERTINA Museum, a presentation that completes the story of Modern Art with the significant chapter of Pointillism as its midwife: 100 selected masterpieces by the main representatives of this style, Seurat and Signac, as well as impressive paintings, watercolors, and drawings by modernist masters who were fascinated by this pointed technique—figures such as Van Gogh, Matisse, and Picasso—illustrate Pointillism’s breath-taking radiance and seminal impact.
The exhibition is a cooperation with the Kröller-Müller Museum.
