He was born in France in 1859
To a lawyer, he was raised just fine
At age 18 he started studying art
A profession he kept 'til death did him part
He painted in the Post-Impressionist style
He was one of the best, by at least a mile
He is most famous for using the color theory
He paints in just dots but his images come clearly
He developed a technique called pointillism
Using dots as if cast through a prism
Juxtaposed dots of different colors
Are present in his paintings in large numbers
His most famous painting had much attention brought
It was called a Sunday on La Grande Jatte
What makes this painting so much cooler
Is that it was used in Ferris Bueller (Bueller, Bueller)
Dots, points, daubs of only pure color
He pulled it off, like no other
Not on the palette, but our eyes do the blending
Scattered divisions, our brains do the mending
The shapes, figures, and space are only seen from a distance
If you look from up close, you might need assistance
His style and technique are purely intellectual,
Carefully composed, and very conceptual
Impressionistic in his light and themes
Post-Impressionistic in his planning and schemes
So who is this painter of La Grande Jatte?
He goes by the name of Georges Seurat
