The Bay (Saint-Tropez)
1907
Paul Signac was a master of Pointillism, a technique where tiny dots of pure color are applied to the canvas to create a vibrant, shimmering effect. Painted in 1907, this sunny landscape of Saint-Tropez captures the Mediterranean light through a dazzling mosaic of blues, pinks, and greens. Signac actually helped develop this scientific approach to color alongside Georges Seurat, turning painting into a kind of optical experiment. He loved Saint-Tropez so much that he bought a house there, helping transform the quiet fishing village into the glamorous resort destination it is today!
