GEORGES SEURAT

Originality depends only on the character of the drawing and the vision peculiar to each artist.

Painting is the art of hollowing a surface.

Some say they see poetry in my paintings; I see only science.

Art is harmony. Harmony is the analogy of contrary and of similar elements of tone, of color and of line, conditioned by the dominate key, and under the influence of a particular light, in gay, calm, or sad combinations.

They see poetry in what I have done. No. I apply my methods, and that is all there is to it.
