Opus 217. Against the Enamel of a Background Rhythmic with Beats and Angles, Tones, and Tints, Portrait of M. Félix Fénéon in 1890 (French: Opus 217. Sur l'émail d'un fond rythmique de mesures et d'angles, de tons et de teintes, Portrait de M. Félix Fénéon en 1890) is an oil-on-canvas painting by French Neo-impressionist artist Paul Signac, created in 1890. The work depicts the French art critic Félix Fénéon standing in front of a swirling, kaleidoscope background. It has been in Museum of Modern Art in New York since 1991, having been donated by Mr. and Mrs. David Rockefeller. Signac decided to invite Fénéon for a portrait as an expression of gratitude to Fénéon. Additionally, the portrait enabled Signac to display his take on Neo-Impressionism, incorporating Henry's recent concepts about the rhythms of colors and lines while synthesizing elements like sensation, sound, music, motion, lines, light, and color.
Capo di Noli is an oil on canvas painting of 1898 by the French artist Paul Signac. It depicts a cape on the Italian Riviera, close to Genoa. Signac hiked there from Saint-Tropez two years before the painting was completed, and of his intentions he wrote he "wanted to take every corner of the canvas to the absolute extreme in terms of colour."
The Pine Tree at Saint Tropez, Bertaud's Pine or Bertaud Gassin's Pine (French - Le Pin de Bertaud Gassin) is an oil-on-canvas painting by French painter Paul Signac, from 1909. A landscape painting in Divisionist style, it has been in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow since 1948. It was owned by S. I. Shchukin until 1918 before being seized by the Soviet state after the October Revolution and assigned to the State Museum of Modern Western Art.
Cassis, Cap Lombard, Opus 196 is an oil on canvas painting of 1889 by the French artist Paul Signac. It depicts the village of Cassis. He was very enthused with the landscape; he made five paintings in Cassis. Signac described this painting in a letter to Vincent van Gogh: "White, blue, orange, harmonically dispersed in pretty undulations. All around mountains with rhythmic curves."
The Port of Marseille is a 1907 oil on canvas Pointillist painting by Paul Signac, now in the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Russia. The city's ships and port were a favourite subject of the painter, who also produced The Port of Marseille (1884), A View of Marseille (1905) and The Port of Marseille (1931).
The Lagoon of Saint Mark, Venice is an oil on canvas painting by Paul Signac. This painting focuses on a seascape image which became a common theme late in Signac's life. Paul Signac (1863–1935) was one of the most influential Neo-Impressionist painters of his time. His name is synonymous with that of Georges Seurat (1859–91) as well as the practice of Color Theory. One of his lesser-known paintings, The Lagoon of Saint Mark, Venice, (1905) is a prime example of his technique of pointillism and experimentation with color theory.
In the Time of Harmony is a painting by the French post-impressionist artist Paul Signac, completed in 1895 in Saint-Tropez. This pointillist oil painting on canvas represents an idealized society by the seashore where numerous people perform different activities such as foraging, pétanque, reading, dancing, and painting. Shown at the Salon des indépendants in 1895, it has since been in the grand staircase of the Montreuil city hall in Seine-Saint-Denis. The painting was shaped by Signac's engagement with socialism in the wake of the 1894 assassination of President Sadi Carnot. Many of Signac's close friends and colleagues, including Félix Fénéon and Maximilien Luce, were jailed in Mazas prison and tried as part of the Trial of the Thirty for their anarchist connections but Signac was able to avoid imprisonment in part because of the indirect manner in which he depicted socialist themes in his work. Signac said on the matter, "Justice in sociology, harmony in art: same thing. The anarchistic painter is not the one who produces anarchist pictures, but the one who, without thought of fain, without desire for regard, battles with all official conventions by making a personal contribution."
Le Sentier des douanes is a Pointillist-divisionist oil on canvas painting by Paul Signac, measuring 72 by 92.5 cm. It shows the 'Sentier des Douanes', a seaside path in Saint-Tropez. The work now hangs in the musée de Grenoble, to which it was left in 1923 by Georgette Agutte and Marcel Sembat. Signac produced several crayon, ink and watercolour preparatory sketches, before producing an initial version of the painting in 1902. In summer 1904 he travelled to Saint-Tropez, where he worked with Matisse. He produced the final work in his studio in 1905, the year Fauvism was born. For a time it was known as Saint-Tropez or Le sentier côtier, but he settled on Le Sentier des douanes as its final title in 1905.
