| Vincent Art Gallery: About Georges Seurat (506 words) |
 | In 1884 he met Signac and, with other likeminded artists, the Society of Independent Artists was founded to hold its own exhibitions. |
| In 1886 Seurat aroused great attention at the VIII Impressionists Exhibition with his masterpiece, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884-1886, Art Institute of Chicago) and achieves an atmosphere of monumental dignity through the balanced arrangement of its elements and the contours of its figures. |
| He began to show his work alongside that of Pissarro and Signac; he met the art theorist C. Henry, and was in contact with Symbolists and anarchists. |
