Georges Seurat, Colour Theory, and the Science of Art. This paper will examine Seurat and his paintings - and, in particular, the use of colour theory and physics in his painting - in order to demonstrate how the artistic and the scientific can be complementary as opposed to mutually exclusive propositions. While it must be acknowledged that Seurat was not a "true" scientist in any respect, nonetheless, his insights into colour theory represent a pivotal moment in Western art history when science and art converged. 6 pgs. 11 f/c. 3b.
