The Musée d'Orsay celebrates Neo-Impressionism with events that pay homage to the artists who founded the movement, re-establishing those painters who have long since fallen out of the public eye, to their rightful place. The exhibition Neo-Impressionism, From Seurat to Paul Klee demonstrates the diversity of approaches arising from Seurat and his friends' technique and highlights the fundamental role they played in the birth of 20thcentury painting. The circuit is organised around a series of sections underlining the Neo-impressionist's formal innovations: two-dimensionality, geometry, rhythm, arabesques, light and colour.http://www.musee-orsay.fr
