Hajo Düchting (1949–2017) studied art history, philosophy, and archaeology in Munich, where he gained his doctorate in 1981 with a thesis on Robert Delaunay’s Windows series. After working in museum and adult education, he moved on to teaching posts and guest professorships at the universities of Munich, Kassel, Leipzig, Saarbrücken, and Mainz. Düchting published numerous articles on the art of the modern era, color theory, and the teaching of art, and authored a number of TASCHEN titles, including Paul Cézanne, Wassily Kandinsky, and Georges Seurat.

“Seurat’s work conveys an appeal similar to that of hearing a symphony.”
