| book description |

This catalogue charts the evolution of the radical and distinctive style of French artist Georges Seurat through the recurring motif of the sea. Seurat and the Sea is a scholarly and visually rich catalogue accompanying a landmark exhibition at The Courtauld, London, the first exhibition devoted to Seuratâ€™s seascapes. Georges Seurat (1859â€“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. Â The book brings together paintings, oil sketches and drawings produced during five summers spent on Franceâ€™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 Seuratâ€™s better-known Parisian imagery and reflect his desire to escape studio confines and depict the clarity of natural light. Â The catalogue highlights how these coastal works deepened Seuratâ€™s exploration of colour and form and played a vital role in expanding his influence. Featuring loans from global collections alongside The Courtauldâ€™s holdings, the exhibition reaffirms Seuratâ€™s lasting artistic significance despite his early death at age 31. Â Exhibition Schedule: Â The Courtauld Gallery, London (13 Februaryâ€“17 May 2026)
