Abstract:

"Paul Signac (1863-1935) is best known for his oil landscapes and marine paintings, which are awash in color, exhibiting a fondness for the dots, swirls, and broken lines that are the hallmarks of his Pointillist style. One of the founders of the Salon des Independents in 1884, Signac and his friends Georges Seurat, Camille Pissarro, Henri-Edmond Cross, and Theo van Rysselberghe exhibited with the Impressionists and were at the forefront of the even more radical school of color contrast that came to be known as Neo-Impressionism." "However, it is in Signac's never-before-published and largely unknown works on paper - the precise black-and-white sketches and fluid watercolors with which he filled his sketchbooks - that his evolution as an artist emerges. Paul Signac: A Collection of Watercolors and Drawings presents, for the first time ever, Signac's graphic oeuvre in its entirety."--BOOK JACKET.
