Paul Signac

A photo that I took at Paul Signac's home at Barfleur in Normandy, France.

  • When I was in France I found this home of the painter Paul Signac. I never  knew anything about him until now. 
  • French neo-impressionist painter who helped develop pointillism. 
  •  He followed a course of training in architecture before deciding at the age of 18 to pursue a career as a painter after attending an exhibit of Monet's work.
  • Many of Signac's paintings are of the French coast. He loved to paint the water. There is plenty of water at Barfleur! (I had the best mussels I've ever had in my life, there.)



"Sunday," 1888-1890
