 The small round dots and splashes of color that Seurat painstakingly applied in a technique he called Divisionbrush strokesism to create this unearthly masterpiece are not perfectly round. They are careful brush strokes, some of them certainly minute, but universally irregular and ever-changing. The picture comes alive when viewed at the correct distance--say fifteen feet. What is so fabulous about this unique canvas is how successfully these individuals and creatures have been captured forever, as if by photograph, and made immortal by the infinitely subtle colors. His work on the Grande Jatte involved 38 different studies and 23 marvelous black pencil drawings.
