I too have seen the original, and was quite amazed with his ability to
maintain the consistency of dot and color throughout it, considering how
long it took to paint. I have also seen others of his in Paris. He was
way ahead of the game. There is another artist, James Cross, I think,
who had work in the Tate in London, and he also uses pointillism.
The play was called Sunday in the Park with George, and starred
Bernadette Peters. Interestingly, the version I saw had Brent Spinner
(Commander Data--Startrek) in a small singing role as well.
No, his eyes weren't yellow. ;-)
