With the beginning of the XXe century, the neo-impressionism deeply the evolution of painting marked but recognition of its role in the creation of the modern art is relatively recent. In Lavandou, the district of Saint-Clair can be proud to have accommodated two important figures of this pictorial movement created by Seurat: Henri-Edmond Cross and Théo Van Rysselberghe.
