1885 · Grandcamp, divisionism and landscapes of the English Channel
In the summer of 1885, Georges Seurat stayed in Grandcamp, a village on the Normandy coast. He had just undertaken La Grande Jatte and sought to apply his research on color more systematically to the landscape. Far from the Parisian crowds, sea, cliffs, ruins, boats and low tide offered him simple, stable and very luminous shapes. Seurat prepares his paintings through small studies and constructs the surfaces according to their nature. In Grandcamp, one evening, short horizontal touches run through the sky and sea, while the earth receives tighter points. The little-mixed pigments on the palette must recompose themselves in the viewer's eye. Ruins at Grandcamp and Fort Samson confront architectural mass and marine space; Landscape in Grandcamp organizes the plans in calm strips. The stay constitutes a decisive step between the still varied touch of Swimming in Asnières and the more methodical divisionism of the Grande Jatte. Several painted borders will be added later in order to match the colorful periphery to the optical balance of the image. The "Grandcamp by Georges Seurat" selection notably compares Ruins in Grandcamp and Landscape in Grandcamp. His reading favors the story.
At Grandcamp, Seurat transforms the shore into a laboratory: the horizon regulates the composition and each touch regulates the light.
