Paul Signac was a young man when he abandoned his architecture studies to pursue painting. As he learned more about the medium, he came under the influence of Claude Monet and worked as an Impressionist. He then became infatuated with George Seurat’s color theories—the chromoluminarism that was similar to pointillism. After an encounter with Seurat in 1884, Signac began shaping the emerging Neo-Impressionism movement. From the early waterside landscapes inspired by his lifelong love of sailing, to interior scenes and portraits, to the sun-drenched vistas of the Côte d’Azur that he returned to again and again—this exhibition traces the full arc of Signac’s career. —Elena Clavarino
