Paul Signac (1863-1935) was a French Neo-Impressionist painter. Together with Georges Seurat, Signac developed the Pointillism style. He was a passionate sailor, bringing back watercolor sketches of ports and nature from his travels, then turning them into large studio canvases with mosaic-like squares of color. He abandoned the short brushstrokes and intuitive dabs of color of the impressionists for a more exact scientific approach to applying dots with the intention to combine and blend not on the canvas, but in the viewer's eye. We have digitally enhanced some of his landscapes and seascapes, both from sketches and paintings into high resolution quality. They are free to download and use under the CC0 license.

Conté crayon on laid paper.
Charles Angrand was a visible presence in the Parisian avant-garde in the late 1880s and early 1890s. Associated with a circle of artists known as the Neo-Impressionists, Angrand emulated the shadowy crayon drawings of Georges Seurat, Neo-Impressionism's standard-bearer. Here Angrand presents himself, not at all as an artist, but as a bourgeois dandy, impeccably dressed and smoking a small cigar. His dashing figure emerges from a penumbra of black ground. Following Seurat's lead, Angrand deftly manipulates the stark white of the textured paper to illuminate the darkness. Fellow Neo-Impressionist Paul Signac praised Angrand's crayon drawings: "… his drawings are masterpieces. It would be impossible to imagine a better use of white and black …These are the most beautiful drawings, poems of light, of fine composition and execution."

The Musée d'Orsay is a museum in Paris, France, on the left bank of the Seine, housed in the former railway station, the Gare d'Orsay, an impressive Beaux-Arts edifice built between 1898 and 1900. It holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1915, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography, and is probably best known for its extensive collection of impressionist masterpieces by such painters such as Monet, Degas, Renoir, and Cezanne. Many of these works were held at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume prior to the museum's opening in 1986.
The museum building was originally a railway station, Gare d'Orsay, constructed for the Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans and finished in time for the 1900 Exposition Universelle to the design of three architects: Lucien Magne, Émile Bénard and Victor Laloux. It was the terminus for the railways of southwestern France until 1939.
By 1939 the station's short platforms had become unsuitable for the longer trains that had come to be used for mainline services. After 1939 it was used for suburban services and part of it became a mailing center during World War II. It was then used as a set for several films, such as Kafka's The Trial adapted by Orson Welles, and as a haven for the Renaud-Barrault Theatre Company and for auctioneers, while the Hôtel Drouot was being rebuilt. The station's hotel closed on 1 January 1973.
In 1977 the French Government decided to convert the station to a museum. ACT Architecture (Renaud Bardon, Pierre Colboc and Jean-Paul Philippon) were the designers and the construction work was carried by Bouygues. The Italian architect Gae Aulenti oversaw the design of the conversion from 1980 to 1986.
The interior of the museum.The work involved creating 20,000 sq. m. of new floorspace on four floors. The new museum was opened by President François Mitterrand on 1 December 1986.

Saint-Tropez befindet sich an der Côte d’Azur, am östlichen Fuß des Massif des Maures. Das damalige Fischerdorf zog schon gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts zahlreiche Künstler wie Paul Signac, Henri Matisse und Pierre Bonnard an, deren Werke heute in dem neben dem Hafen gelegenen Musée de l'Annonciade zu bewundern sind.
Der Aufschwung Saint-Tropez begann in den 1950er Jahren, als sich der Ort zu einem Treffpunkt von Künstlern und der High Society entwickelte. Unter Stammgästen wird der Ort auch nur kurz Saint Trop' genannt, von Einheimischen scherzhaft auch Sans trop d' pèse (nicht allzu sehr ins Gewicht fallend).
Saint-Tropez ist berühmt für seinen großen Yachthafen und die Baie de Pampelonne, den größten Sandstrand der Côte d´Azur, der allerdings überwiegend auf dem Territorium der Nachbargemeinde Ramatuelle liegt.
Viele prominente Europäer verbringen ihren Urlaub in Saint-Tropez, unter anderem in den – wiederum zu Ramatuelle gehörenden – berühmten Strandclubs Tahiti Plage, Club 55, Nikki Beach und Aqua Club. Den vielen reichen Urlauber stehen in Saint-Tropez zahlreiche teure Restaurants und Boutiquen zur Verfügung.
Die Ortschaft wird von einer 1592 entstandenen Zitadelle („La Citadelle“) überragt, von der man einen schönen Ausblick hat. Sie beherbergt ein Museum für Seefahrts- und Ortsgeschichte. Saint-Tropez hat nur 5275 Einwohner (Stand 1. Januar 2008), über das Jahr verteilt sind jedoch etwa fünf Millionen Besucher dort.
In Deutschland ist Saint-Tropez vor allem durch Gunter Sachs und Brigitte Bardot sowie durch die Gendarmerie-Filme mit Louis de Funès bekannt geworden.

Huile sur toile, 52 x 77 cm, 1919, musée d'Art moderne (MuMa), Le Havre.
En juin 1909, Pierre Bonnard découvre le Midi lors d'un séjour chez son ami le peintre Manguin à Saint-Tropez. Fasciné par la lumière éblouissante de la Méditerranée, il y retourne les étés suivants pour peindre les paysages de la région et fait à cette occasion la rencontre de Signac et de Renoir. Exécuté en 1919 dans la salle à manger de la villa d'Antibes, Intérieur au balcon invite à pénétrer dans l'intimité d'un lieu familier dont la fenêtre s'entrouvre sur le bleu de la mer. Le cadrage se resserre autour de l'intensité lumineuse de l'eau, dont les reflets bleutés teintent la nappe et la vaisselle. De l'intérieur familial ombragé à l'horizon ensoleillé, le parcours de la lumière laisse le regard circuler entre les deux espaces. Sur la table, un petit animal immobile, pékinois ou chaton, se blottit auprès d'un vase cylindrique garni d'une branche de fleur d'oranger. Décadré dans l'angle inférieur droit du tableau, le profil au regard perdu de Marthe Bonnard, la femme et le modèle du peintre, apporte au tableau une part de mystère. L'œuvre atteint ainsi une dimension universelle en ce qu'elle met en scène un moment intime et silencieux de contemplation, celle du paysage marin et de la lumière méditerranéenne (cf. MuMa).

Subject and Model
The sitter is Berthe Roblès (1862–1942), a distant cousin of Camille Pissarro who became Signac’s wife on 7 November 1892. This portrait is the last of a series of intimate studies of his close family and friends, and it remains one of the rare finished figurative works in his Neo-Impressionist oeuvre.
Composition and Technique
Signac presents Berthe in profile under her parasol, applying countless pure pigment dots of complementary hues—greens set against oranges, reds against purples. The canvas deliberately avoids illusionistic depth, emphasizing a two-dimensional decorative surface. Arabesques in the sleeves, the parasol’s ribs, and details such as a stylized flower or tassel reinforce its hieratic, emblematic quality.
Provenance
The painting was held in the collection of Dr. Charles Cachin until 1989, when it was given to the French state under usufruct. It entered the Musée d’Orsay that same year as part of the national collection.
Significance
“Woman with a Parasol” showcases Signac’s mastery of pointillist theory and his shift from capturing fleeting light effects toward composing harmonious chromatic planes. By blending the Impressionist subject of outdoor leisure with a rigorously flat, decorative approach, Signac charts a distinctive path within Neo-Impressionism.

Paul Signac 1863-1935
Venice, the Pink Cloud, 1909
Albertina - Batliner Collection
In March 1908 Signac visited the lagoon city for the second time. How much the Serenissima once again captivates him, shows the present large format. Like Claude Monet in his Venice paintings of the same period, Signac transforms cold and warm colors into sound at the same time. The observer is on the Fondamenta delle Zattere and looks against the sunset-dipped Isola de San Giorgio Maggiore. Palladio's characteristic church façade, which is as easily recognizable as the slender tower of the church's Campanile, shines in the soft light of the setting sun. Above it hovers a pink cloud, which shrouds the sailing ships in the foreground in emerald shade tones. Signac paints the picture not en plein air, but in the following year based on on-site studies in the studio.
Paul Signac 1863 - 1935
Venedig, die rosa Wolke
Venice, the Pink Cloud, 1909
Albertina - Sammlung Batliner
Im März 1908 besucht Signac die Lagunenstadt zum zweiten Mal. Wie sehr in die Serenissima erneut in ihren Bann zieht, zeigt das vorliegende Großformat. Wie Claude Monet in seinen Venedigbildern aus derselben Zeit lässt Signac kalte und warme Farben gleichzeitig erklingen. Der Betrachter befindet sich auf der Fondamenta delle Zattere und schaut gegen die ins Abendlicht getauchte Isola de San Giorgio Maggiore. Palladios charakteristische Kirchenfassade, die ebenso leicht zu erkennen ist wie der schlanke Turm des Campanile der Kirche leuchten im sanften Licht der untergehenden Sonne. Darüber schwebt eine rosa Wolke, welche die Segelschiffe im Vordergrund in smaragdgrüne Schattentöne hüllt. Signac malt das Bild nicht en plein air, sondern im folgenden Jahr auf der Grundlage von vor Ort angefertigten Studien im Atelier.
About the exhibition Monet to Picasso:
The presentation "Monet to Picasso. The Batliner Collection"
"Monet to Picasso" provides an informative overview of one of the most exciting chapters in the history of art: the turn from figurative to abstract art.
On the basis of approximately 250 works, the continuous progression from Impressionism to Modernism is clearly depicted. By fortunate interlocking of the Batliner Collection with collections of the Albertina, supplemented by the Forberg Collection, emerged extensive ensembles of works of groundbreaking artists that make it possible to give an overall view about the various "isms" of modern times. The focus of this presentation is the Batliner Collection, which was passed by the Foundation Herbert and Rita Batliner in May 2007 to the Albertina.
The bow of the exhibition begins with the French Impressionism with outstanding late works by Monet ("Water Lily Pond") and Degas ("Two Dancers"), the Post-Impressionism (Toulouse-Lautrec and Cézanne), Fauvism (Matisse) and Neo-Impressionism.
An important step on the way to abstraction represents the Cubism which is represented brilliantly with Braque and Picasso. The surrealism of Ernst, Miró, Klee and Magritte is represented as well as the Russian avant-garde with Lissitzky and Malevich.
The arc concludes with examples of Abstract Expressionism, represented by works by Appel, Rothko and Newman and the New Realism of Yves Klein.
For the first time, a permanent exhibition collection of classical modernism as a unit of paintings and graphics: 2008, the Albertina was extended by 2,000 m2. This offered the possibility of creating a permanent viewing collection of this generous new arrival. This permanent exhibition collection shows mainly the classic modernism of the Batliner Collection, a unique enrichment in its importance and generosity of the museums in the Austrian capital Vienna.
"The Batliner Collection enjoys since many years an excellent reputation among connoisseurs and museums."
(Prof. Dr. Werner Spies)
For the first time, masters of classical modernism can now be presented in Vienna. It has always been an aspiration of the Albertina and its director Klaus Albrecht Schröder to represent art from the perspective of the drawing integrally and discipline-crossingly. Graphics and art on canvas can not be seen isolated. Drawings and graphics are not intended as a special event for specialists, but as an art form among others. This concept has been well received by the visitors. Through the holistic presentation of art, the Albertina could reach completely new audiences: in the four years alone since its reopening in 2003, counted the Albertina more than three million visitors, many of them being for the first time in the house.
Über die Ausstellung Monet bis Picasso:
Die Präsentation „MONET bis PICASSO. Die Sammlung BATLINER“
„Monet bis Picasso“ bietet einen informativen Überblick über eines der spannendsten Kapitel in der Kunstgeschichte: die Wende von der figurativen zur abstrakten Kunst.
Anhand von ca. 250 Werken kann das kontinuierliche Fortschreiten vom Impressionismus zur Moderne anschaulich nachvollzogen werden. Durch die glückliche Verzahnung der Sammlung Batliner mit Beständen der Albertina, ergänzt durch die Sammlung Forberg, kamen umfassende Werkblöcke bahnbrechender Künstler zustande, die es ermöglichen, eine Zusammenschau über die vielfältigen „Ismen“ der Moderne zu geben. Im Zentrum dieser Präsentation steht die Sammlung Batliner, die von der Stiftung Herbert und Rita Batliner im Mai 2007 der Albertina übergeben wurde.
Der Bogen der Ausstellung setzt an beim französischen Impressionismus mit herausragenden Alterswerken von Monet („Seerosenteich“) und Degas („Zwei Tänzerinnen“), dem Postimpressionismus (Toulouse-Lautrec und Cézanne), Fauvismus (Matisse) und Neo-Impressionismus.
Einen wichtigen Schritt auf dem Weg zur Abstraktion stellt der Kubismus dar, der mit Braque und Picasso fulminant vertreten ist. Der Surrealismus eines Ernst, Miró, Klee und Magritte ist ebenso vertreten wie die russische Avantgarde mit Lissitzky und Malewitsch.
Der Bogen schließt mit Beispielen des Abstrakten Expressionismus, vertreten durch Werke von Appel, Rothko und Newman, und dem Neuen Realismus eines Ives Klein.
Erstmals eine permanente Schausammlung der klassischen Moderne als Einheit von Gemälde und Grafik: 2008 wird die Albertina um 2.000 m2 erweitert. Dadurch bietet sich die Möglichkeit, eine ständige Schausammlung dieses großzügigen Neuzugangs einzurichten. Diese permanente Schausammlung wird vor allem die klassische Moderne der Sammlung Batliner zeigen, eine in ihrer Bedeutung und Großzügigkeit einzigartige Bereicherung der Museen in der Bundeshauptstadt Wien.
„Die Sammlung Batliner genießt seit vielen Jahren höchstes Ansehen bei Kennern und Museen.“
(Prof. Dr. Werner Spies)
Erstmals können nun in Wien die Meister der klassischen Moderne präsentiert werden. Immer schon war es ein Bestreben der Albertina und ihres Direktors Klaus Albrecht Schröder, Kunst aus dem Blickwinkel der Zeichnung ganzheitlich und gattungsübergreifend darzustellen. Grafik und Kunst auf Leinwand können nicht isoliert betrachtet werden. Zeichnung und Grafik sind nicht als Spezialveranstaltung für Spezialisten gedacht, sondern als eine Kunstform unter anderen. Dieses Konzept wurde auch von den Besucher positiv aufgenommen. Durch die ganzheitliche Präsentation von Kunst konnte die Albertina völlig neue Besucherschichten erreichen: Allein in den vier Jahren seit der Wiedereröffnung 2003 zählte die Albertina über drei Millionen Besucher, viele davon waren zum ersten Mal im Haus.
