Study for Bathers at Asnieres, c. 1883-1884. Creator: Georges Seurat (French
Study for " Bathers at Asnieres", c. 1883-1884. This oil sketch is one of many preparatory studies Seurat made for his monumental painting Bathers at Asnieres (1883-84), depicting men leisurely bathing in the Seine near an industrial suburb of Paris. Seurat borrowed the brilliant colours of Impressionism to suggest outdoor light, but added structure by emphasizing basic geometric shapes and firm outlines. As a leader of the movement to reform Impressionism, his style became known as Neo-Impressionism
