He experimented with placing individual strokes of complementary colors—red and green, yellow and blue, orange and purple—next to one another. When viewed at a distance, these colors would mix in the viewer’s eye. Seurat’s style eventually inspired the artistic movement of neo-impressionism.</p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/lighthouse-honfleur-1886-georges-seurat" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/lighthouse-honfleur-1886-georges-seurat#comments For Kids French painting Georges Seurat Impressionism Lighthouse Painting Pointilism Learning to Look National Gallery of Art, Washington http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/f8/f88e602b2d48841c/poster-image-08.jpg f88e602b2d48841c Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:31:32 +0000 s-sarraf 8851 at http://artbabble.org Revisiting the Fesler Collection http://artbabble.org/video/ima/revisiting-fesler-collection <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-series"> <div class="field-label">Series:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/series/talks">Talks</a> </div> <div class="field-item even"> <a href="/series/talks">Talks</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-institution"> <div class="field-label">Institution:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/partner/indianapolis-museum-art">Indianapolis Museum of Art</a> </div> </div> </div> <p>Join Robert Rosenblum, co-curator of 20th century art at the Guggenheim Museum, as he lectures in conjunction with the 2006 Indianapolis Museum of Art exhibition: European paintings from the Caroline Marmon Fesler collection, which occured March 10-June 4, 2006.
