Editorial Reviews

Georges Seurat was one of the most influential artists of the Postimpressionist generation. Highlighted by conversations with modern artists Henry Moore and Bridget Riley, this program provides a close look at the creator of the Pointillist technique. Seurat's revolutionary style--the application of paint in small dots to create light and form--coupled with his masterful draftsmanship made him a force to be reckoned with in the art world.

This review is from: Georges Seurat: Point Counterpoint [VHS] (VHS Tape)

We know that tiny dots of yellow against blue, or yellow opposing violet change a mood or the feel of a painting. However, Seurat made a career of studing and experimenting with such challenges. Beneath the initial elegant calm of his work lurks a tale of passions, hopes, fears and secrets. This film shares with us the whole world of Georges Seurat, isolated yet comfortable around people; troubled, yet clear of mind and vision. As a painter this film filled me with hope and inspiration. I learned something, and that my friends is worth the price of admission.
