Synopsis

This book provides the reader with an encapsulated autobiography penned by the artist himself. The author describes the struggles and triumphs of his early life through to the artistic innovations that made his work so distinctive and important. The text recounts his escape from an orphanage and his experiences as a young apprentice and struggling artist. The work is a blend of personal narrative and artistic theory which influenced many other avant-garde artists in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. The author discusses his belief that art should be a reflection of nature, an ideal that is reflected in his famous divisionist style, the individually perceptible dots of color which make up his compositions when viewed as a whole. The author was a pioneer of techniques now central to modern art but decried by critics during his lifetime. This book provides an intimate insight into the world and motivations of a true artistic revolutionary.
