*** Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.***

I saw that at the Met Museum of Art in NYC a few weeks ago!

Then I realized the original was much bigger, so I must have seen one of the many studies Seurat did before he did the main painting.

Before checking it out here, I didn’t realize how many preliminary studies he had done.

I was referring to the final one, hanging at the Art Institute of Chicago.

You go to any of these museums to see some of their most famous pieces, and you find tons of other interesting stuff too!

Would love to see the Louvre, the Prado, and the Hermitage. That last one is featured in an unusual recent movie by Aleksandr Sokurov, called “Russian Ark.”
