Georges Seurat's 1884 painting Bathing at Asnieres, rejected by the Salon of 1884, offers a counterpoint to Pierre-Auguste Renoir's vision of middle-class leisure that is epic rather than intimate and formal rather than spontaneous. Part of a new generation that watched as Impressionism rose from notoriety to acceptance, Georges Seurat, in paintings such as Bathing at Asnieres, sought what he believed to be a more rigorous approach through structure and color theory.
