Models (painting)
Painting by Georges Seurat
Models, also known as The Three Models and Les Poseuses, is a work by Georges Seurat, painted between 1886 and 1888 and held by the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.
Models was exhibited at the fourth Salon des Indépendants in spring of 1888.
The piece, the third of Seurat's six major works, is a response to critics who deemed Seurat's technique inferior for being cold and unable to represent life.[2] As a response, the artist offered a nude depiction of the same model in three different poses.
In the left background is part of Seurat's 1884-1886 painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.
Models is considered distinctive because of its pointillist technique and the political implications of its depiction of the nude female body.
