1886 -1888 · Honfleur, tides and maritime geometry
Entrances, outports and pools give Seurat a vocabulary of masts, piers, hulls and horizons where human activity remains under an almost abstract order.
The maritime campaigns allowed Seurat to take his eyes off Paris while continuing his research on color. In Honfleur in 1886, the entrance to the port was filtered by the atmosphere of the estuary: silhouettes of boats, quays and sky respond to each other in humid light. Two years later, Port-en-Bessin provides a more systematic ensemble. The outport at high tide opposes the contained movement of water to the lines of the quays; the entrance to the port frames the sea between built structures; On Sunday, Port-en-Bessin distributes buildings and human presence in voluntary calm. The ports are neither detailed work scenes nor romantic seascapes. Seurat holds back some material signs, then subjects them to the division of tones and a composition where each verticality balances the horizon. The "Ports of Georges Seurat" selection notably compares Entrance to the port of Honfleur and Port-en-Bessin, outer harbor, high tide. Its reading favors light.
The port interests Seurat like a visual machine: it regulates the entry of the sea, the circulation of hulls and the rhythm of verticals.
