1887, Paul Signac, The Town Beach, Collioure, Opus 165 -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: Beginning in 1886, Signac worked in the Neo-impressionist style, layering dots and dashes of paint to create optical colored effects. Viewed closely, the eye registers the tiny brush marks of pigment as detached; viewed from a distance, however, the eye blends the colors and they appear as larger, cohesive forms. The Lehman picture is one of four summer landscapes that Signac painted during his stay in Collioure, a small fishing village in France.
