	Signac, Paul
		Paul Signac (November 11, 1863 - August 15, 1935) was a leading figure of French Neo-Impressionism, the school of painters that followed the Impressionists.
		Signac sailed a small boat to almost all the ports of France, to Holland, and around the Mediterranean Sea as far as Constantinople, basing his boat at St. Tropez, which was to ultimately become a favorite resort of modern artists.
		Signac, who had left his wife Berthe but never divorced her, bequeathed his properties to her; the two remained friends for the rest of his life.

	Paul Signac - MSN Encarta
		Paul Signac (1863-1935), French postimpressionist painter, born in Paris, one of the originators of the technique known as pointillism.
		In 1884 Signac began collaborating with French painter Georges Seurat, under whose influence he abandoned the short brushstrokes of impressionism to experiment with scientifically juxtaposed dots of pure color, the defining feature of pointillism.
		In Signac's pointillist scenes—mainly river or seashore views—the impression of glittering natural sunlight is achieved through placement of the colored dots to create a prismatic effect.

		Finally, Signac builds the value structure of his paintings predominantly around the warm/cool color contrast: brilliant warm oranges and yellows are silhouetted against dull, cool dark blues and greens, with tints of pure rose and blue violet used to convey the distant landscape or light in the wooded shadows.
		Signac conveys the mass and straddle of the bridge by preserving a warm, crisp value contrast within its arches (note the touches of near orange), and this lets him play the flat top of the bridge against the darker and complex broken patterns of the distant trees.
		Signac loved the sea and loved painting outdoors, and this was a commission which he solicited from his longtime friend and patron, Paul Lévy, and that occupied him happily from 1929-31.

	Paul Signac: Master of Pointillism...
		Paul Signac (1863-1935) was interested in painting from an early age.
		Signac's carefully contrived compositions and the orchestrated combinations of complementary colours (ochre/orange and sky blue/violet) are intended to evoke moods and emotions rather than simply to imitate nature.
		Signac's pick-axe wielding wrecker is his most overt reference to his politics and the anarchist wish to sweep away the old, corrupt order of society.

		Signac later said that the paintings of Claude Monet at the June 1880 exhibition in the offices of La Vie moderne led him to opt for the career of a painter.
		Ultimately both Seurat and Signac were represented despite the initial opposition of Degas and Eugene Manet, the painter's brother and the husband of Berthe Morisot.
		Signac knew these milliners and was able to observe their habitual gestures and activities, as Degas had done before him with ballet dancers and laundresses, as well as milliners (depicting the last as early as 1882).

	Paul Signac
		While Signac is well-known for paving the frontier for Pointillism, what many don't realize is that Signac was a prolific sketcher, and did etches, lithographs, watercolors and many pen and ink compositions.
		Signac had little or no formal training, and trained himself to paint by studying the style of Monet, therefore Signac's work is slightly reflective of Monet's.
		Signac also had a series of oil paintings done in Pointilism from 1889-1893 that were based on operas and musical pieces.

		Signac was born in Paris on November 11, 1863.
		In the mid 1880s Signac and Seurat became close friends and the two collaborated in studying theories of painting and colour, in particular the division of light in its prismatic elements.
		In his own work, Signac took to Pointillism, juxtaposing tiny points of colour on the canvas in very precise relationships, so that the luminosity and depth of the composition is intensified, and each brush stroke acts to stimulate the eye’s perception of the overall effect.

		A generation younger than Monet and Degas, Paul Signac joined the impressionists in time for their final group exhibition in 1886.
