Paul Signac 1863-1935 French Pointillist Painter and member of the radical avant-garde Brussels Societe des XX His Style Was Influenced by the following Painters and Art Movements -Impressionism, Monet, Paul Signac, Georges Seurat, and Manet Education: Self-taught Artist Biography and A Description of His Style Paul Signac was born into a prosperous family of shopkeepers. His first works were strongly influenced by the Impressionism of Monet. Signac was one of the founding members of the Salon des Independents, an organization formed in 1884 to exhibit the work of imaginative artists whose work had been rejected by the sanctioned Salon. Encouraged by his friendship with Georges Seurat, Signac started experimenting with divisionism and adopted the pointillist style. This unique style of painting is characterized by a methodical and scientific technique known as pointillism or divisionism. Pointillism painters juxtaposed small dots of pure color together to maximize luminosity. The dots appeared to intermingle and blend in the spectator's eye. During this phase of his artistic career he produced his greatest successes. Signac was a jovial care-free sort whose artistic output was limited primarily to sunny seascapes and the like. Signac was somewhat of a sailor and loved to paint images that reminded him of the sea. Paul Signac Quotations The Principal Pointillist Painters
