Seurat

George Seurat's masterpiece A Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jatte - 1884 is among the most recognisable and frequently reproduced paintings in the world. First exhibited in 1886, La Grande Jatte is a visual manifesto that quickly became a landmark in the development of modern painting. In 2004, The Art Institute of Chicago will open a major exhibition that will celebrate and shed new light on this iconic painting, featuring preparatory paintings and drawings to trace its evolutionary process. The many preparatory studies, some of which were never used in the final composition, attest to the artist's ambitions for his self-conscious masterpiece. Scala's unique 4-fold format creates a visually exciting presentation of the many intricate details, examining its different themes in an accessible and interactive presentation. Other icons of Modern Art in The 4-Fold series include Renoir's Luncheon for the Boating Party, and Picasso's Guernica.
