Which work is commonly associated with Georges Seurat?

• A. A Sunday on La Grande Jatte
• B. The Starry Night
• C. The Persistence of Memory
• D. Girl with a Pearl Earring

Answer: (A)

Georges Seurat is best known for pointillism, a technique that builds form and color from tiny adjacent dots. The painting that embodies this approach is A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, a large scene painted in the 1880s using countless small dots that blend in the viewer’s eye to create light, shading, and a luminous surface. This work shows his careful, almost scientific method of applying paint and his interest in how colors interact optically. The other titles belong to different artists—The Starry Night is by Vincent van Gogh, The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí, and Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer—so A Sunday on La Grande Jatte is the one most closely associated with Seurat.
