Paul Signac was a central figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement and a key collaborator of Georges Seurat. Embracing the divisionist technique of pointillism (applying tiny, distinct dots of pure color to canvas). Signac advanced a vision of painting rooted in harmony, science, and light. His luminous compositions, often of ports, sailboats, and riversides, translated the fleeting experience of modern life into carefully orchestrated chromatic vibrations. A passionate anarchist and sailor, Signac found in nature both refuge and order, allowing his paintings to speak not only of aesthetics but of freedom.

Signac's masterpieces are held in major collections worldwide, including the Musée d’Orsay, MoMA, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
