More about this artwork

La Tartane" (1887) by Paul Signac"Collioure. La Tartane" is an enchanting piece by the French Neo-Impressionist painter Paul Signac, created in 1887. This painting captures a serene day in Collioure, a picturesque coastal town in the south of France that has long been a muse for artists.In this vivid composition, Signac employs his characteristic technique of small, distinct brushstrokes that build up to form a dynamic and colorful whole. The work depicts a vibrant seascape, where the Mediterranean's blue waters are animated by splashes of light blue and dark blue, reflecting a sky bustling with brisk brushstrokes of white and blue.Dominating the scene is a traditional fishing boat, known locally as a tartane. Its pristine, white sail stands out against the pastel-hued buildings of Collioure, and the small, bustling figures aboard add a touch of life. The town itself is rendered in shades of cream, orange, and pink, conveying the warm stone of the sunlit buildings. A striking blue tower rises in the background, further pulling the viewer into this sunny, idyllic day on the French Riviera.This piece is emblematic of Signac's masterful use of color and form to convey atmosphere and emotion.

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.
