The Neo-Impressionist Portrait, 1886-1904

Exhibition at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, 15 June - 7 July 2014

Neo-Impressionism, the style pioneered by Georges Seurat, has long been associated with exquisite landscapes and intriguing scenes of urban leisure. Yet the movement's use of dotted brushwork and color theory also produced arresting portraits of unusual beauty and perception.

Featuring 60 paintings, this exhibition catalogue is the first book to examine the astonishing portraits produced by the most important figures of Neo-Impressionism, including Seurat himself, Henri-Edmond Cross, Georges Lemmen, Maximilien Luce, Paul Signac, Henry van de Velde, Vincent van Gogh, and Théo van Rysselberghe.
