Paul Signac

Paul Signac was a French Neo-Impressionist painter known for his pioneering use of the Pointillist technique. A close collaborator with Georges Seurat, Signac meticulously applied small dots of pure colour to his canvases, allowing the viewer's eye to blend the colours optically. His works, such as "The Port of Saint-Tropez" and "The Papal Palace, Avignon," are celebrated for their vibrant hues and luminous quality. Signac's dedication to this technique extended beyond his own painting; he played a significant role in promoting Neo-Impressionism and influenced many artists of his time.
