聖保羅','ja by Paul Signac, 1923

Paul Signac captures the sun-drenched village of Saint-Paul perched atop a hill, its warm yellow and pink buildings cascading down towards terraced gardens. In the foreground, tall, dark cypress trees stand like sentinels, framing the view with their deep blues and greens against a pastel sky. Although famous for his meticulous pointillist dots, Signac's later watercolors like this one are delightfully loose and vibrant, showing his pure joy for the light and color of the French Riviera. It feels like a quick, happy sketch made on a warm summer day, inviting you to wander up those winding paths.
