More about this artwork
This intriguing artwork by Paul Signac, titled "La Reine Fiammette," reflects the unique stylum and artistic approach of Signac, often associated with Pointillism—a painting technique using small, distinct dots of color to form an image. The painting showcases a meticulous application of this technique through a vibrant, colorful palette, likely conveying a dynamic, rhythmic blend of natural scenes or abstract elements.A dominant feature of this piece is the large circle at the center which encapsulates a landscape or abstract composition rendered in dots. The colors transition smoothly from warm yellows and oranges at the top, suggesting a setting sun, into cool blues and purples, perhaps indicating water or the night sky below. This might be interpreted as a metaphorical representation of time or a harmonious natural cycle.Additionally, the artwork incorporates elaborate typographic elements. Large letters "T" and "L," prominently featured, are decorated with gradient color effects, geometrical designs, and are stylistically segmented. These letters could be initials relating to the title or an abstract element enhancing the overall aesthetics of the composition.The phrase "Application du Cercle Chromatique de M.C. Henry" suggests the artwork is an application or a representation of color theories proposed by M.

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.
