Yvonne Canu (1921 - 2008) was a French painter and followed the influences of pointillists such as Georges Seurat. She was strongly influenced by Seurat’s masterpiece A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grande Jatte. She belongs to an interesting trend of French twentieth-century artists who looked to and expanded upon the theories of so-called divisioniste artists of the late 19th century.
