Sunday in the Park with George
Book by James Lapine
The Notion
"Act One concerns the French painter Georges Seurat (1859-1891) and his creation of Un dimanche aprèsmidi à l'Île de la Grande Jatte (A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte), which took more than two years to complete. Act Two deals with the artistic crisis experienced by his great-grandson, an American conceptual artist in his forties, named George."
- Stephen Sondheim in Look, I Made a Hat -
