Georges Seurat: The Pioneer of Pointillism 

Born in 1859, Georges Seurat revolutionized art with a technique called Pointillism 

Seurat studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris but later broke away from traditional methods.

His masterpiece, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, took two years to complete!

Seurat used tiny dots of pure color, allowing the eye to blend them into a vibrant image.
