Series 1: 2. Seurat's Les Poseuses
Hanging in the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Seurat’s Les Poseuses is probably his least-known painting. It is also a picture brimming with codes and hidden meanings. It shows three nudes in the artist’s studio, but included in the background is Seurat’s famous masterpiece, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.\n\nWhy is it there? What is it trying to say? Why two pictures at once? Waldemar Januszczak investigates.
