Regarding Seine (Van Gogh series), how does the Paintings's Asnières incorporate the The Seine with the Pont de la Grande Jatte?
The Seine with the Pont de la Grande Jatte The Seine with the Pont de la Grande Jatte (F304) is a painting made by van Gogh of a favored area on the Seine near Asnières.  It was made during a period where he explored the use of "dots" of paint set alongside contrasting colors, influenced by Georges Seurat.  In 1885 Seurat made A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte with a technique of placing colored dots on a work which led a movement called "Neo-Impressionism", "Divisionism" and "Pointillism".  Van Gogh was one of the artists later called "Post-Impressionists" who was influenced by Seurat's style that rejected realism and idealism to create a new genre based upon abstraction and simplicity.  Van Gogh learned from Seurat the beauty in simplicity and a means to convey messages in a more optimistic, light way than his work in the Netherlands.  While he could not match Seurat's precision, aspects of Pointillism were integrated into van Gogh's work.
