peace out Anybody know what jatte means? Google says it's "bowl," but somehow I don't think that denotation quite fits.

Perhaps its worth extending the Sondheim section? MikeyB! 23:27, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correct me if I'm wrong ...

... But I believe I saw this painting at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art in New York just yesterday. Actually, I'm almost certain. Has anyone checked with the Art Institute of Chicago to see if perhaps they loaned it to the Met?

At the Met is Seurat's final sketch of the painting, whereas the actual painting is in Chicago.--The lorax 03:07, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Secret Squirrel

Wasn't this painting in an episode of Secret Squirrel? --Kinkify 12:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The painting is in a Bugs Bunny cartoon with Elmer Fudd chasing Bugs through the painting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.185.182.223 (talk) 23:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vista Wallpaper

This painting features in the full 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium as a wallpaper, and I assume in many other of the versions of Vista available. Perhaps this is worth a mention? —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrozenOrb (talk • contribs) 00:48, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New version of picture

I thought the higher res version would be an improvement, but does it looks a little faded by comparison with the original pix? Suckindiesel 00:02, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it does. But it's also larger and more detailed. I wonder which is the "truer" reproduction? I haven't been to the Art Institute in many years, so I don't know. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 00:25, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An even higher resolution image, Image:Georges Seurat 031.jpg, is used on the French Wiki version of this article. It comes from a DVD-ROM & to my eye the colours fall somewhere between the original & my new version. However, as its unlikely I'll be in Chicago any time soon if ever, its more appropriate for somebody more local to decide which one to use. I was only browsing anyway.

Actual Name of picture

I was at the Art Institute this weekend. They show and instruct that the picture is actually titled "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte." There is no "Afternoon" or "Isle." Here is a link to their page: http://www.artic.edu/artaccess/AA_Impressionist/pages/IMP_7_lg.shtml Is this enough attribution? A redirect page should be made since "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" is a popular incorrect version.

SecretSquirrel

Yes i do believe that this painting was in an episode of bugs bunny. although i am very bored, i watched that episode yesterday. that is a fact (i think) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.198.151 (talk) 06:32, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
