Color Magic
On the Italian Riviera, the Gulf of Genoa, is the little town of Noli. From Saint-Tropez, Paul Signac hiked there in 1896. Inspired by the beauty and the colour magic of the landscape, he started two years later on work for this picture, re-porting: "In order to spur myself on, I use patterns of dyed silk, which are so colour-intensive, so glossy. One after the other, I implement in my picture. I (...) would like to take every corner of the canvas to the utmost extreme in terms of colour." The master achieved his goal: a radiant colourfulness conjures up a shimmering ensemble of light and air, water and matter.
