From the foreword- "In this exhibition such masterpieces as Parade de cirque, Cirque, and Jeune femme se poudrant and an extraordinary group of seascapes testify to Seurat's pictorial ambitions. His splendid drawings in conte crayon place him, with Ingres, among the greatest draughtsmen of the nineteenth century. These sheets and the beautiful series of small paintings on wood- his croquetons (little sketches)- give a more intimate view of Seurat. A large number of works are exhibited together for the first time, thanks to the generosity of private collectors, both American and European."
