| Notes | The golden section appears to govern Parade's geometric structure, though modern consensus is that Seurat never used this divine proportion in his work. Parade is shown here divided horizontally into fourths and vertically into sixths. The 4 : 6 ratio corresponds to the dimensions of the canvas, which is one and one-half times wider than its vertical dimension. The axes painted by Seurat do not correspond precisely to the golden section, 1 : 1.6, as might have been expected (yellow lines, so1 - so4). Rather, the axes painted in the composition correspond to basic mathematical divisions (simple ratios that appear to approximate the golden section). See Parade de cirque (Circus Sideshow) and citations within. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
