The Courtauld is hosting the first ever exhibition focused on the seascapes of Georges Seurat and the first one on the French artist in the UK in almost 30 years. Seurat and the Sea will explore the evolution of his distinctive Neo-Impressionist technique (using small dots of colour to render shapes and light) through the motif of the sea. Paintings, sketches and drawings made by Seurat during five summers between 1885 and 1890 that he spent on the northern coast of France will be on display, offering a counterpoint to his better known Parisian works.
