The Seine at La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat, 1889
That's the same island from the enormous Sunday-crowd picture everyone knows — he kept going back to it. The dots supposedly weren't just a look: he'd been reading up on how colours mix in your eye instead of on the palette, and a handful of other painters ran with the idea until it was a whole movement with a name.
Erisava: It's all tiny dots and it still comes out calm. No complaint here. What's your take?
