Quotes by Georges Seurat

“Some say they see poetry in my paintings; I see only science.”

“Originality depends only on the character of the drawing and the vision peculiar to each artist.”

“Under a blazing mid-afternoon summer sky, we see the Seine flooded with sunshine . . . people are strolling, others are sitting or stretched out lazily on the bluish grass.”

“Painting is the art of hollowing a surface.”

Some say they see poetry in my paintings I see only science.
