Full Scale Homage Georges Seurat Sunday On La Grande Jatte 1884/2013

Creator: Susan Donner
Offered by: Appleton

Description
An extraordinary, full-scale painted stage backdrop created for the 2013 Princeton University production of Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George. This monumental work—measuring 82 by 122 inches—reimagines Georges Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (1888) through meticulous, hand-applied pointillist technique.

Unlike the photographic enlargements commonly used for stage design, this piece was executed as a true painting on canvas—a rare artistic commitment that bridges fine art and theatre. Each dotted brushstroke captures the luminous harmony and quiet vitality of Seurat’s masterpiece, transformed through the lens of Sondheim’s meditation on art and creation.

The work carries both theatrical and aesthetic provenance: created for a university production renowned for its fidelity to artistic detail, and later privately acquired in 2021 by its current owner. Displayed as a centerpiece, it commands any space—resonating equally as a collector’s statement or a dramatic interior focal point.

Provenance: Princeton University Theatre Department, 2013 production of Sunday in the Park with George.
Acquired: 2021, private collection.
