The Green Towers, La Rochelle
1913
Paul Signac's vibrant harbor scene is a masterclass in Pointillism, where thousands of tiny, distinct dots of color blend together to create a shimmering effect of light and water. Painted in 1913, it depicts the iconic medieval towers of La Rochelle, France, bustling with colorful sailboats. Instead of mixing paints on a palette, Signac let the viewer's eye do the mixing, a technique he championed alongside Georges Seurat to capture the pure, dazzling brilliance of the French coast. It's like looking at a giant, beautiful mosaic made entirely of paint!
