GEORGES SEURAT. The Forest at Pontaubert

The Forest at Pontaubert. Artist: Georges Seurat (French, Paris 1859-1891 Paris). Dimensions: 31 1/8 x 24 5/8 in. (79.1 x 62.5 cm). Date: 1881.
Seurat spent two months in the late summer and early fall of 1881 in Pontaubert, a village southeast of Paris once frequented by Daubigny, Corot, and other Barbizon landscape painters. His visit inspired this <i>sous-bois</i> or forest glade, which Seurat probably completed that winter in the studio he shared with his traveling companion and fellow artist Aman-Jean. With its concert of greens, its subtle, shimmering light effects, and its vertical pattern of tree trunks, this work anticipates the verdant settings of Seurat's monumental <i>Bathers at Asnières</i> in London (1884) and <i>A Sunday on La Grande Jatte</i> in Chicago (1884-86).
