1000 piece puzzle, "Place des Lices, Saint Tropez" by Paul Signac, Blue Kazoo, USA.
Here's another Blue Kazoo puzzle featuring the work of Paul Signac, in this case his 1893 scene "Place des Lines, Saint Tropez." (Previously, I made their Le Clocher de Saint Tropez.) He was fully into the pointillism phase of his career, which he and Georges Seurat developed in the post-Impressionist era. As such, the pieces contain lots of tiny dots of oranges, blues and greens to create what looks from afar like a purple and gold landscape. (The colors and technique remind me a lot of Van Gogh's "sower" paintings.)
I've reviewed Blue Kazoo in depth before, but their puzzles are of excellent quality with large, chunky pieces, a matte finish and a very easy cut style that makes it difficult to misplace a piece. This was the most difficult of their puzzles that I've done so far, but still it wasn't too challenging. I have some extra challenging titles waiting in my stash, including their outer space series.
For anyone interested in Blue Kazoo puzzles, they are currently running a "secret sale" on their web site with a couple dozen, mostly fine art puzzles, from the new Sustainable series, at 40 percent off. They are now shipping internationally.
Completed in 5 hr., 6 mins. with no box reference. 1,000 total pieces: 18.4 secs./piece; 196.1 pcs./hr. Difficulty rating: 1.8/10.
