5 Must-See Paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago
The Art Institute of Chicago is a top destination for fine art experts, fine art lovers, and travelers from all over the world. It contains one of the largest collections of French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art in North America. Its diverse collection also includes significant displays of American art, American and foreign contemporary art, Asian art, and modern art. The Art Institute was founded in 1866 by a group of local artists with the vision of running an art school with its own art gallery. Today, the permanent collection encompasses over 5000 years of American and foreign art with over 260,000 art objects in its possession.
Five of the Art Institute's famous paintings include:
1. A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte - One of Georges Seurat's most famous works and an example of pointillism, the art technique of using miniature dots of different colors that form a single hue of color. It depicts a scene of people enjoying a leisurely day on the island of la Grande Jatte, located on the Seine River in Paris and serving as a retreat for a nearby housing development.
2. American Gothic - A very well-known painting by Grant Wood from 1930 of a farmer standing beside his unmarried daughter. It represents 19th century Midwestern Americana with men and women fulfilling traditional roles of the era. Wood's inspiration came from a cottage designed in the Gothic Revival style with a distinctive upper window and a decision to paint the house along with "the kind of people I fancied should live in that house.
3. Nighthawks - A 1942 painting by Edward Hopper that portrays people sitting in a downtown diner late at night. It is considered Hopper's most famous painting, as well as one of the most recognizable in American art. It was painted after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1942 and is said to represent the widespread feeling of depression and gloominess during that time.
4. Bedroom at Arles - A title given to each of three similar paintings by 19th-century Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. The paintings depict Van Gogh's bedroom in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhone, France, known as his Yellow House. Each of the three versions of the painting has its own improvements and idiosyncrasies with the third version being a reduction of the originals.
5. The Old Guitarist - A painting by Pablo Picasso, painted in 1903, just after the suicide death of Picasso's close friend, Casagemas. It depicts an older man playing a guitar and seated in disturbed position. A feeling of melancholy is felt through the shades of blue color exhibited throughout the painting. It is also notable for the apparent pentimento involving an image painted underneath where Picasso originally began a woman's portrait.

How does Seurat represent the art period pointillism?
I kinda thought that because he developped this type of painting (thus founding this period), he represents this period.
anything more to that?
If pointillism is not the period
then what is the period seurat lived/worked in?
neo-impressionism
Neo-Impressionism is a term coined by the French art critic Félix Fénéon in 1887[1] to characterise the late-19th century art movement led by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, who first exhibited their work in 1884 at the exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants in Paris. Fénéon's term pointed to the roots of this recent development in the visual arts in Impressionism, but offered at the same time a fresh reading of artistic means like color and line based on the practice of Seurat and Signac, and its theoretical background in the writings of Chevreul and Charles Blanc.
