| Seurat's theory of optical mixtures, which he called divisionism, influenced Signac, and the style eventually became known as pointillism. |
|
| At the Met, Paul Signac and his luminous seascapes emerge from Seurat's shadow. |
|
| As the foreword to the exhibition's catalogue notes, Signac has always existed in the shadow of the more famous pointillist, Georges Seurat. |
|
| Signac believed that the artist's ability to create harmony was stronger in a peaceful setting. |
|
| These construction s of the south as freer and more harmonious would have been particularly attractive to Signac and his Neo-Impressionist colleagues. |
|
| The actual art-historical purpose of this show is to help Signac escape from the shadow of Georges Seurat, the master theorist of pointillism, or divisionism. |
|
| This superb show revisits the techniques of Divisionism and neo-Impressionism through 37 oils, including works by Paul Signac and Le Sidaner. |
