Georges Seurat (1859-1891) was a French post-Impressionist painter who developed innovative painting techniques such as chromoluminarism and pointillism. These methods involved applying small, distinct dots of color to the canvas, which would then optically mix in the viewer's eye. He also explored the use of conté crayon on textured paper, further expanding his artistic repertoire. His work significantly contributed to the evolution of modern art.
In 1903, Madeleine Knobloch, Georges Seurat's partner and the model for his painting "Jeune femme se poudrant," passed away. She had been living with Seurat since 1889.
In 1908, Paul Cézanne's dialectic work greatly influenced the expressionistic phase of proto-Cubism.
In 1910, Paul Cézanne's dialectic work greatly influenced the expressionistic phase of proto-Cubism.

From 1911, Seurat's flatter, more linear structures captured the attention of the Cubists. His observations on irradiation and contrast allowed him to create a new aesthetic system.
