Bourg-Saint-Andéol
1926
While Paul Signac is famous for his meticulous pointillist dots, this breezy 1926 sketch reveals his looser, travel-diary side. He captures the French town of Bourg-Saint-Andéol with energetic ink lines and washes of cool blue and green, letting massive trees dominate the view over a suspension bridge. You can almost feel the summer heat on that '10 Juillet' date scribbled at the bottom, as two tiny figures stroll past the colorful buildings. It’s a refreshing glimpse into how a master artist documented his vacations when he wasn't busy placing thousands of tiny paint dots.
