Paul Signac
Are you ready for the colors of the French seacoast in the summer?
Together with Georges Seurat, Paul Signac challenged Impressionism’s spontaneity with a more systematic approach that is commonly referred to as Neo-Impressionism, one of the movements within Post-Impressionism. Guided by scientific advances in the fields of optics and color theory, Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, the creator of today's painting, used a pointillist technique, carefully applying discrete dots of color that blend within the viewer’s eye rather than on the painter’s palette.
Signac's paintings are so powerful because of their vibrant and energetic colors. They were inspired by his trips in the south of France. In Golfe-Juan, a Mediterranean resort town near Cannes, Signac bought a house and kept a sailboat (it is visible on the opposite shore in the painting).
