Seurat "Bathers" structural model

  The field of mathematics deals with numbers and logic.

Where does this a priori capacity come from?

It relies on the ability to perceive the integral properties of shapes.

This implies that a visual grammar is formed first,

and that both the plastic arts and mathematics depend upon it.

 

While Cézanne’s use of visual grammar was likely a priori, to what extent did Seurat—who had undergone academic training—employ techniques derived from his education?

Seurat "Bathers "and the study

circle-cross model

Here is a table showing the degree of stylization.

The model has reached version 6.

It features a structure in which intersections are arranged along a (line)circle.

 

As for studies of the “model,” the work has reached the stage of the eighth stage.

While Seurat is acclaimed as the inventor of Pointillism, as a visual artist he employs techniques comparable to those of Cézanne.

It is obvious that authentic art theory must be established on the visual grammar.
