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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book brings together paintings, oil sketches and drawings produced during five summers spent on France's northern coast between 1885 and 1890, in coastal 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The catalogue highlights how these coastal works deepened Seurat's exploration of colour and form and played a vital role in expanding his influence. Featuring loans from global collections alongside The Courtauld's holdings, the exhibition reaffirms Seurat's lasting artistic significance despite his early death at age 31. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Courtauld Gallery, London\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (13 February-17 May 2026)\u003cbr\u003e\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 03\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913645908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152","brand":"Karen Serres,Richard Thomson,Paul Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52210049286325,"sku":"9781913645908","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7a07d47e-5bff-48c6-950a-7aa4c2b15752.jpg?v=1770132234","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/seurat-and-the-sea-9781913645908","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
