Seurat has been commonly read as an artist of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153scientific\u00e2\u20ac  method. This paper explores the definition and perception of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153science\u00e2\u20ac  in Seurat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lived social historical environment. It also evaluates whether his methods are authentically scientific by examining his sources of his methods. My argument is instead of defining Seurat as scientific, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153democratic\u00e2\u20ac  would be a more accurate description. Seurat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s democratic attitudes are demonstrated by his selection of subject matter, his methods of production, and the influence of popular imagery on his art making. By applying a social art history methodology, this paper examines Seurat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s major works of different stages along with the social historical facts in his age to propose the idea that Seurat is democratic rather than scientific."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-20T16:51:09Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Rubin, James H"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Wei, Lai"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-20T16:51:09Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-20T16:51:09Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of Art History and Criticism"},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"35 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Application/PDF"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/76771"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2016-12-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-20T16:51:09Z (GMT).
