Description:
|
Private collection, signed and dated 'P.Signac 1901' (lower right) sold at Christie's London February 6, 2013. By 1885 Seurat had encouraged Signac to adopt a Divisionist handling of paint; by 1886 they were both using the pointillist brushstroke. Signac wrote a book on Neo-Impressionism which was influential; the Fauves, and especially Matisse, who in 1904 was working with Signac at St Tropez, found in it the sanction for a freedom of color that they would accentuate even more.
