Paris. Notre-Dame
Paul Signac, usually famous for his meticulous dots of pure color, lets loose here with a wild, energetic sketch of Paris's most famous cathedral. Notre-Dame looms in the background, its spire reaching up through a sky filled with rapid, diagonal strokes that suggest a blustery day. In the foreground, the Seine river flows beneath a bridge, framed by trees that look like they're dancing in the wind. It’s a fantastic look at how a master of color captured the raw bones of a city using nothing but dark, expressive lines.
