# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Georges Pierre Seurat was born in Paris on 2 December 1859, carrying a sensibility so delicate it seemed at odds with his other gift: a near-mathematical precision of mind. He devised chromoluminarism and pointillism, techniques that broke color into calculated points of pure pigment, and worked his conté crayon drawings on rough paper to similar effect. Between 1884 and 1886 he executed A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, a large-scale canvas that initiated Neo-Impressionism and bent the course of modern art away from Impressionism's spontaneity toward something more systematic, more strange. He died in Paris on 29 March 1891, thirty-one years old, leaving behind a method and an icon.
