More about this artwork

In the enchanting painting "Snow, Boulevard de Clichy, Paris" painted by Paul Signac in 1886, viewers are provided a glimpse of a quintessential Parisian street cloaked in snow. This remarkable piece captures the beauty and stillness of a snowy day in Paris with a burst of life that remains unfretted by the cold.Signac, master of Neo-Impressionism and a devoted follower of the color theories espoused by Chevreul, utilizes distinct brushstrokes and a vivid palette to portray the serene atmosphere of a snow-covered boulevard. The branches of the barren trees, coated in white, lace across the composition, creating a delicate contrast against the softly colored façades of the city buildings.The painting is alive with city dwellers, each rendered with minimal yet effective strokes, indicating the hustle of people braving the cold. A tram, mid-journey and dusted with snow, adds a dynamic element to the scene, reminding the viewer of the ongoing pulse of urban life even in wintry conditions. The gentle blues and whites suggest the chill of winter, while splashes of warmer tones in the buildings and attire of the pedestrians provide a sense of coziness and resilience against the harsh weather.

Paul Signac (1863-1935) was a French Neo-Impressionist painter. Together with Georges Seurat, Signac developed the Pointillism style. He was a passionate sailor, bringing back watercolor sketches of ports and nature from his travels, then turning them into large studio canvases with mosaic-like squares of color. He abandoned the short brushstrokes and intuitive dabs of color of the impressionists for a more exact scientific approach to applying dots with the intention to combine and blend not on the canvas, but in the viewer's eye.
