Seurat: The Realm of Light

Top of page

Paris in the 1880s. The Impressionists dominate the art scene but a brilliant new talent is about to emerge. Georges-Pierre Seurat, artist extraordinaire and father of Pointillism, creates a style so revolutionary that it anticipated, over one hundred years ago, techniques used today in television and digital imagery. Seurat is an animated tribute to this visionary painter.
