Faro di Loctudy
1920s
Paul Signac is famous for his meticulous Pointillism, but this sketch shows his wild, spontaneous side. Jotted down in his sketchbook in Loctudy, Brittany, the scene features a sailboat and a lighthouse rendered with swift, scratchy lines and warm sepia washes. You can even see the faint grid of the paper beneath, reminding us that before the masterpieces, there were just quick observations—dated '18 Oct' here—to capture the fleeting light of the coast. It’s a charming glimpse into the artist's travel diary.
