Did anyone catch The art mysteries on BBC4 last night, linking the three Seurat paintings, Les Poseuses, The bathers, and La Grande jatte - the critic had a theory that they were all linked by The Judgement of Paris (both the character and the city), and it certainly seemed plausible, though there were a million questions I wanted to ask and holes I wanted to pick - but a whole programme about our beloved painting and not a mention of Sondheim. Interesting that the much discussed, in the musical, factories are so prevalent. Definitely worth watching and it will lead to much discussion....and like the musical, it will make you look at the painting afresh.
