Seurat spent two years on this island in the Seine, making dozens of studies, then built the final canvas out of small separate touches of pure colour meant to mix in the eye rather than on the palette — a method he thought of as optics, not brushwork. The result is a Sunday crowd frozen into something monumental and strange: Parisians at leisure, stiff as figures on an Egyptian frieze, a woman with a monkey on a lead, a bugler, sails on the water, light lying in bands across the grass. Modern life given the permanence of a temple wall. He was twenty-six.
