The Courtauld Gallery\u2019s almost sold-out Seurat exhibition is extending its opening hours on Fridays and during its final week to give more people a chance to see his seaside paintings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first-ever exhibition devoted to the seascapes of French painter Georges Seurat,\u00a0 and the first UK exhibition devoted to Seurat in almost 30 years, the exhibition brings together the largest group of these works ever assembled, 26 in total, offering a detailed look at a significant part of Seurat\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

Seurat is best known for developing a radical new technique of painting with dots of pure colour, which gave birth to Neo-Impressionism. This exhibition charts the evolution of Seurat\u2019s style through the recurring motif of the sea, reuniting for the first time a major group of 26 works created over five summer trips to the northern coast of France between 1885 and 1890.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The exhibition runs until 17th May, but many dates are sold out, and those with timeslots are also mostly sold out. So it\u2019s getting harder to visit if you haven\u2019t already bought a ticket.<\/p>\n

To help, in addition to opening to 8pm on Fridays for the rest of the exhibition, it will also open to 8pm on 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th and 17th May.<\/p>\n

Tickets are available from here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Standard Ticket: \u00a318
\n18 And Under: Free
\nConcessions: \u00a38<\/p>\n

The price is for the exhibition and the rest of the gallery.<\/p>\n
