SEURAT, Georges (1859-1891)
STUDY FOR "LA PARADE" (1888-89)
Painted on wood: 6-3/4 x 9-7/8" Signed lower right.

Famous picture "La Parade" painted in 1889.

This picture is a smaller version of one of the six major works by Seurat "La Parade" which is now in the collection of r. Stephen Clark, New York. Whereas the big picture is a completely finished work, this one is also, but in a different sense, for the yellow background which forms the base of the picture is merely the panel showing through-all the more remarable [[remarkable]] in revealing Seurat's technique. This little picture actually has the force and greatness of the major version. It is e tremely interesting and typically shows the manner in which Seurat attained the height of his career. The "pointillisme" is clearly characterized by the many touches in color in the wood.
