| The Stone Breakers, Le Raincy, c. 1882 Georges-Pierre Seurat French, 1859-1891 Oil on canvas 14-3/4 x 17-7/8 in. (37.5 x 45.4 cm) Norton Simon Art Foundation M.1968.28.P © 2012 Norton Simon Art Foundation On view This early work introduces a technique that Seurat would soon fully develop, which became known as Pointillism. Whereas Impressionism was based on the effects of light and the use of pure color, Pointillism was a technique using ordered compositions of harmonious, juxtaposed dots of color. Seurat's Pointillist works are characterized by solid, formal compositions embellished with a highly complex, decorative painted surface. View Provenance
