FINE ART AUCTION
Item description
Landscape
The offered artwork is watercolor and gouache painting depicting
a coastal landscape with houses, signed Signac, in the lower margin of the
artwork and Gallery stamped on verso. Signac, who was both intelligent and
well-read, was influenced heavily by modern theories on optics and color as
well as by the work of the Impressionists, who were on the cutting edge of
artistic innovation when he was a teenager and young man in the Parisian
bohemian neighborhood of Montmartre. Signac's style changed substantially as he
incorporated the techniques and theories of Neo-Impressionism (also known as
"Divisionism" and "Pointillism") that he developed in
collaboration with Georges Seurat. The rapid, varied brushstrokes of his
Impressionist style, intended to convey the effects of light on objects, were
transformed into the small, roughly square points of Neo-Impressionism. Signac,
Seurat, and their fellow Neo-Impressionists began a process in Modernism of
breaking down the basic components of a painting, in a way, separating color
from the objects it described - an important step toward the further
abstraction by later artists.
