Paul Signac Author

Paul Signac was a French painter and theorist who, alongside Georges Seurat, became a leading figure of Neo-Impressionism. He developed a systematic approach to color in which separate touches of pigment interact optically in the viewer's eye, a technique closely associated with Divisionism and Pointillism. His paintings, writings, and advocacy helped spread new theories of color and influenced artists ranging from the Neo-Impressionists to the Fauves.
