Merged eternity ... It sea and sun! .... Hudozhnk Georges - Pierre Seurat
XIX century was an era of conquest scientific and technical progress , the belief in the immensity of the human mind to the possibility of rational comprehension of the phenomena of reality.For painters at that time becomes the main work with nature. Impressionists tend directly to nature, the rain and wind , or in bright sunlight , from the beginning to the end , to work on its scenery , passing directly on the canvas and its exact visual impression.World is revealed to them in their immediate charms, and most importantly - to catch in it available to the human eye.
Impressionists often called the pioneers and founders of modern art. They established a direct link between the eye and light painter.Hence - the movement to return to nature, which is the source of all impressions. At the same time - absolute trust in the vision of the artist, his or her identity.Seurat Georges - an artist who entered the world of art, in a very important time of the impressionist movement.
Georges-Pierre Seurat was born December 2, 1859 to a wealthy family ministerial official. Unlike many fellow art painting for him was not the way to earn money for food , and , above all , the possibility of realizing own worldview.While still a student at the Lycée Georges attended art school.Sulphur was later admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts , where he studied under Henri Lehmann , a follower of Ingres. From an early age the future master of the brush stood out not only diligence and a keen interest in different artistic movements , but also independence and insularity , sometimes passing into the reserve. Acquaintance with the work of the Impressionists Georges Seurat was to starting point to seek an independent path in the visual arts.
artist was always interested in all the new theories and ideas, read the scientific literature in optics , studied heritage of old masters painting. Eugene Delacroix experiments with color and paints Georges Seurat prompted the idea of developing their own artistic methods.Having an analytical mind, Sulphur concluded that a mixture of separate point smears gives a much stronger visual impact than traditional methods or techniques of painting fellow Impressionists. In his paintings all the details and fragments were composed of dots of pure color , contrasting with each other.
founder of neo-impressionism flow ( divisionism , pointillism ) - Georges Seurat wrote large figure compositions and landscapes. Studying the laws of light and color , optical effects , Sera trying to establish a scientific basis for the solution of color , light and air and spatial tasks. But, as no other French artist of that time , drawing played in the creative laboratory Sulphur huge role.
drawings of Sulphur is closer to the true source of his inspiration , he not only scrutinizes the model , but also listens to himself , plunging into a long contemplation.
shadow , darkness, so often present in his graphic works are reminiscent of dusk, evening , night - that time of day when the mind tends to rest , and the subconscious mind , intuition come to life , ready to take over the man as soon as he falls asleep.Seurat drawings before painting, brought him success - Salon in 1883 adopted two of them : portraits of his mother and Aman- Jean.

in figures starts to appear very peculiar world that he is in himself, world stopped time , frozen movements radiating quivering and enchanting poetry. Beyond the world dominates the silence , the silence is almost tangible , akin to silence reigning in our dreams sometimes.Dense and compact form are separated from one another. Nothing can destroy spells , which led them into a stupor and permanently isolated from the environment , condemned to imprisonment, immortalized in their own reality. This world is also a world of silence fatal loneliness.
" Since I took up the brush - he wrote in a letter Feneonu - I was looking for a 1876 - 1884 "s optical formula ..."in painting, the artist sought to comprehend the mind of the whole mystery of creativity. Large picture size ( 2x3m )"Bathing in Asnieres"( 1883-1884 ) opens a new period of the artist.
artist painted this work during the year , but the picture has not been admitted to the official Salon.
Disclaimer jury took Silent as an insult. He did not try to find out the reasons for this attitude to the self ; Unlike so many of rejected candidates , he did not try to explain it to those or other circumstances. Closed , self-righteous , Sera had a monstrous ego , suspicious vulnerability characteristic of people who recognize their superiority , never exhibited his show, but exigent when it overlooked or superiority.For him, the issue was resolved once and never again he would not seek participation in the Salon.Learning in mid-April that the artists not admitted as he intend to establish an association and to arrange his own show , he decided to join them.His measured gait author of"Bathing"came to the cafe"Montesquieu"gathering artists and rebels , and announced his decision to join them by paying required eleven francs.
The man lives and moves among what he sees ;
but he sees only what is capable of recognizing.
Valerie.
painting"Bathing at Asnieres"was shown at the exhibition of the Group of Independent Artists in 1884 in the pavilion of the Tuileries.Discover and mutual influence of representatives of the new directions of painting helped Georges Seurat find adherents.One of the distinct fans Pointillism ( Divisionism ) became Paul Signac , before writing in the impressionistic style.Signac voluntarily assumed the role of chief ideologue and spokesman ideas silent and closed Sulphur , largely contributed to the growth of its authority , as the founder of a particular artistic movement. Amateur sailing and rowing Signac had his boat and often swam with Sulfur from Anyer on the island of La Grande Jatte.Since work began on the painting Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte ....
a famous painting of enormous size ( 3h2m ) is a prime example of pointillism and is considered one of the most remarkable paintings XIX- th century Post-Impressionist period.The painting is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Critics called pointillism Sulphur"Neo"attempt to turn romantic impressionism impressionism in research.Pointillist paintings could be seen only from a distance , near , they turned into a mosaic of color in the mash.
For example Gauguin tried to eradicate the point method craze among fellow artists.Divisionism - an enemy who must be overcome , and over which the sarcastic Gauguin has not ceased to be ironic.All his entourage sang a song about a point.
Drawing , do not go into a rage.
Kohl landscape you have in mind ,
Not a day , and you two watch
And mumbling and muttering:
"More precisely try to put points ,
One , two, three - three tiny point"
Besides, who would blame you ,
That supposedly they are round too ,
Answer important and arrogant :
"handsome and square appearance.
afar cancel point !
One , two, three - three tiny point"
Nevertheless , it was a new powerful word in the visual arts.Genre paintings and landscapes reflect Georges Seurat , primarily , the inner world of the artist , who saw another reality different from the other eye. Sulphur was given this element entirely. By nature man George was closed , as indifferent to everything that does not apply to his work. It is important to only his art.He continued to climb the rugged trail leading to the top of its mountains.
road climbing up the hill and the road going downhill , it is one and the same road.
Heraclitus.
Even Signac , who was in close relationship with the artist and knew besides his aesthetic ideas about what he thinks and feels that just like a man , said:" In Jorge sometimes artist and never was revealed - a man.Once he was able to say whatever he wanted , the man disappeared ."
However, life entered his impenetrable privacy. Its existence came a woman.
Her name was Madeleine Knobloch.She was twenty years old.It is difficult to imagine a more unexpected friend for such intelligent man like Sulphur.All that inspired him with disgust or horror , all that justifies his asceticism creator encouraged to create, so to speak, the mineral world , embodied in this woman.With bright, reveal the beauty , Madeleine Knobloch different mediocre mind; if sulfur - the embodiment of reason , it is - flesh itself.Its many features are not too heavy to bear no trace of spirituality , which throw light or set off her plump face empty talkers.She belonged to the category of girls that instinct , as soon as they ripen , closes in the narrow confines of the feminine world and in anticipation that men are interested only in the circle of his chest or hip size.With its fleshy neck , shoulders rounded , plump hands , swollen breasts bulging from close corset , she radiated the essence of the female animal in all its freshness. It was a body.Matter, which beckoned , drew to itself , live matter , which allowed her to continue living. Yes , Maitre divisionism and this woman were a strange pair. Life waylaid Sulphur , and he was trapped instinct.
Love has led to the fact that the artist has focused its efforts in new to him - in the genre of portraiture.Winter 1888-1889 years he draws Madeleine pudryaschuyusya for a small dressing table with curved legs.This table and stand on it oval mirror decorated with a pink ribbon and supported by curved metal whips differ defiantly bad taste.But thanks to the skillful stylization Sulphur extracts from this circumstance bright decorative effect. Besides, he comes to mind is a strange idea to paint the background yourself as a reflection in the mirror hanging on the wall in a bamboo frame. Later, he would destroy his image , replacing it with a pot of flowers.
Something was going on around him. Something always happened.Human sea similar to the sea, where Seurat saw the image of eternal dream , but his excitement never ends.Everything in it is in motion , it is impermanence, impulse and decay, boiling ambition colliding with each other ; wave rolled on one another, covered by a universal desire for life, and carries them away lulling swell time.
Having a baby only briefly distracted from the work of Seurat.Afterword.src="http://filed6-10.my.mail.ru/pic?url="http%3A%2F%2Fimg1.liveinternet.ru%2Fimages%2Fattach%2Fc%2F4%2F78%2F985%2F78985563_72313206_orn_90.gif&mw="&mh="&sig="4b002fe18d35b44c342b2ab0b66787d0"
