Georges Seurat quotes:

Originality depends only on the character of the drawing and the vision peculiar to each artist.

Some say they see poetry in my paintings; I see only science.

Painting is the art of hollowing a surface.

Art is harmony. Harmony is the analogy of contrary and of similar elements of tone, of color and of line, conditioned by the dominate key, and under the influence of a particular light, in gay, calm, or sad combinations.

Let's go and get drunk on light again - it has the power to console.

The inability of some critics to connect the dots doesn't make pointillism pointless

They see poetry in what I have done. No. I apply my methods, and that is all there is to it.
