A SUNDAY ON LA GRANDE JATTA

1. This artwork is a two-dimensional piece.


2. It depicts people relaxing in a suburban park on an
island in the Seine River called La Grande Jatte, a
popular retreat for the middle and upper class of Paris
in the 19th century.
3. Sometimes we think of line having to be applied to
create contour, however, in this artwork we can see
that small lines can create shape and form and
implied lines as well. Line is also used to create depth
and perspective in this art piece.
4. A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande
Jatte is both the best-known and largest painting
Georges Seurat ever created on a canvas.
