The French painter Paul Signac is considered one of the most important artists of neo-impressionism. Together with Georges Seurat, he developed pointillism. In this style, regular dabs of pure colours are juxtaposed, which only merge into an overall composition in the eye of the beholder. In this way, the colours of the paintings acquire an unimaginably pure luminosity that gives each picture a very special depth – whether on canvas, as an aluminium print or as a poster.
