Hey Kids, Meet Georges Seurat from the Hey Kid's, Meet the Artist! Index Georges Seurat was born on December 2, 1859 in Paris, France.
His father Antoine Chrysostom Seurat was a native to Champagne, and his mother Ernestine Faivre was a Parisian. He also had a brother and a sister, Emile and Marie-Berthe. Georges first studied art by taking drawing lessons with sculptor Justin Lequiene and then continued his education at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1883 Seurat devoted himself to his first major work - a huge painting titled Bathers at Asnieres. After the rejection of his Bathers painting by the Salon, Seurat turned to the independent artists of Paris. In the summer of 1884 Seurat began work on his large-scale pointillist work A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Georges Seurat died on March 29, 1891.
