*yes, whose full title is Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, held by the Art Institute of Chicago. You can use either title.

That is correct…That would be Georges Seurat…a French artist who developed the style depicted in this painting. The painting is….and I may not be totally correct here….SUNDAY AFTERNOON ON THE ISLAND OF LA GRANDE JATTE…!
This would be the beginning of a style that Seurat is known for developing called….POINTILLISM….Pointillism is the use of dots and dashes in painting. You must see a closeup,or a detail of this painting to fully understand Seurat’s technique. Today we use a spin off of pointillis in our public schools called STIPPLE DRAWING……But make no mistake about it, the stipple drawing is a long and tedious task depending upon the quality of work that the individual does….Good luck to you and GOD bless….
