Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 17 works by Georges Seurat (1859–1891) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Seurat's pointillist technique — thousands of tiny dots of pure colour applied with scientific precision — can only be fully understood in person, where you can step back to see the image cohere and step forward to see the method. His major works are very large and demand to be experienced at exhibition scale.
