Georges Seurat (1859-1891), known for pioneering the Neo-Impressionist technique of using small dots of pure colour, developed a luminous and atmospheric style that evolved notably through his repeated engagement with maritime themes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book brings together paintings, oil sketches, and drawings produced during five summers spent on France's northern coast between 1885 and 1890, in towns such as Honfleur, Port-en-Bessin, and Gravelines. These works, featuring seascapes, regattas, and harbour scenes, contrast with Seurat's better-known Parisian imagery and reflect his desire to escape studio confines and depict the clarity of natural light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe catalogue highlights how these works deepened Seurat's exploration of colour and form and played a vital role in expanding his influence. Drawn from global collections, the works reaffirm Seurat's lasting artistic significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Courtauld Gallery, London\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(13 February-17 May 2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Serres,Richard Thomson,Paul Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Holberton Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 9.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913645908","brand":"Paul Holberton Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45486690304137,"sku":"9781913645908","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a2c6e79e-5429-493d-a31a-ba640cf5e740.jpg?v=1775541449","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/seurat-and-the-sea-9781913645908","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
