Employing tiny brushstrokes of contrasting colours that endow his paintings with a shimmering brilliance, artist Georges Seurat (1859-1891) developed the technique of pointillism. Sixteen splendid reproductions of works by this leader of the Neo-Impressionist movement, reproduced here in miniature, include, among others, The Circus, Young Woman Powdering Herself, The Seine at Courbevoie, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, Les Poseuses, Le Chahut, Bathing at Asnieres, and The Side Show (La Parade).
