Members’ Afternoon Preview of Seurat and the Sea

A serene seascape in Georges Seurat's signature Pointillist style. Tiny dots of color coalesce to form a dramatic cliff face overlooking a tranquil sea. The scene evokes a sense of peace and grandeur. i 2. Georges Seurat (1859‑1891), Le Bec du Hoc, Grandcamp, 1885, Tate purchased 1952 © Tate, London 2025. Photo: The National Gallery, London.
