MFA: Antibes, the Pink Cloud

Paul Signac's Antibes, the Pink Cloud (1916). "In a 1916 letter to a critic, Signac annotated a sketch of this 'portrait of a cloud' to reveal the cloud's 'personalities.' He referred to the vaporous form at upper left as Loie Fuller -- an American dancer who had taken Paris by storm in the 1890s -- and pointed out some 'Michelangelesque' in the dark underside of the cloud at right."
