Lézardrieux, Sailboat at the Quay
1925
Paul Signac, the master of meticulous Pointillism, trades his tiny dots for loose, energetic strokes in this 1925 watercolor of the harbor at Lézardrieux, Brittany. An avid sailor who spent years cruising the French coast on his boat the *Olympia*, Signac often created these quick, vibrant sketches to capture the fleeting light and movement of the sea. Unlike his rigid oil paintings, this piece feels spontaneous, with washes of blue and green dancing around the docked sailboat. It’s a delightful snapshot of the artist’s life on the water, showing a looser side of a Post-Impressionist legend.
