Paul Signac

Born : 1863Died : 1935Documented citizenships : France

Self-taught French artist Paul Signac (1863–1935) is described by the National Gallery as an important figure in Neo-Impressionism. Influenced by Seurat, he adopted Pointillism, a technique that consists of painting with dots of complementary colours. The works listed by the Art Institute of Chicago bear witness to his early years: Les Andelys, Côte d’Aval (1886), Sunday in Paris (1887) and Chromatic Circle (1888) mark this period.

After Seurat’s death in 1891, Signac continued to promote the movement’s theories and techniques through articles and his book From Delacroix to Neo-Impressionism, published in 1899. Titles recorded for the following years include The Port of St. Tropez II, from the seventh album of L’Estampe originale (1894), In Times of Harmony (1895–96), The Wreckers (1896) and Evening (1898). Further landmarks appear in Notre Dame (1910) and Port Louis-Lomalo (1922), also listed by the Art Institute of Chicago.
