Question

What was the underlying message of Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte?

Modern life has united people together.


People in cities interact less as a result of modern life.


Everyday life is not important.


A painting should be an exact, realistic copy of what one can see in everyday life.

B?

There are lots of interpretations out there. What do YOU think?

Artists who painted in pointillism, as Seurat did, weren’t trying for exact replicas. That would take photography!

I really don’t like questions like these. Interpreting artwork is often a personal thing; it’s what YOU see in the work. Frankly, I don’t think any of these answer choices is very good.
