I don't think I'm very good at scenery, never know how to frame - but this was a nice harbour, and reminded me a little of a Paul Signac painting.
Neo-Impressionism both built upon and challenged the methods of the Impressionist painters. The term was coined by the French art critic Félix Fénéon in August 1886 during the Salon des Indépendants' annual exhibition. Many of the canvases shown employed the divisionist technique, in which small, precise strokes of complementary colours are placed next to one another to construct an image that, when viewed from a distance, appears as a radiant, harmonious whole, Championed by Georges Seurat, divionism drew upon the contemporary scientific theories of colour advanced by Charles Blanc, Eugène Chevreul and Ogden Rood, who proposed that more vibrant hues could be achieved toi greater optical effect by way of certain juxtapositions of separate pigments.
For Paul Signac, divisionism was not just a scientifically informed aesthetic technique, but a "complex system of harmony." He developed his Neo-Impressionist practice across various sites, sailing to the ports of France, the Netherlands and the Mediterranean Sea to paint landscapes and scenes of urban life. While Signac aimed to create balanced, luminous paintings, his desire to achieve visual harmony echoes the spirit of social harmony for which he advocated throughout the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
On Nov. 11, 1863, French post-Impressionist painter Paul Signac was born. Along with Georges Seurat, he helped develop Pointillism.

Soleil couchant, pêche à la sardine, Opus 221 (Adagio) de la série La Mer, les barques, Concarneau 1891 (Setting Sun. Sardine Fishing. Adagio. Opus 221, from the series The Sea, The Boats, Concarneau 1891), 1891
Paul Signac
Oil on canvas
This painting forms part of a series depicting sardine boats sailing to and from the Breton port of Concarneau at different times of the day. This evening view is radical in its pared-down simplicity, rhythmic geometry and limited palette of blues and yellows. The sense of the work's elements being orchestrated to an emotional effect is reflected in his use of the musical terms 'Opus' (work) and 'Adagio' (slow) in the picture's title. The series was exhibited in Brussels the year after it was painted*

After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art
(March – August 2023)
Explore a period of great upheaval when artists broke with established tradition and laid the foundations for the art of the 20th and the 21st centuries.
The decades between 1880 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 were a complex, vibrant period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking and innovation.
The exhibition celebrates the achievements of three giants of the era: Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin and follows the influences they had on younger generations of French artists, on their peers and on wider circles of artists across Europe in Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels and Vienna.
With nearly a hundred works by artists ranging from Klimt and Munch, Matisse and Picasso to Mondrian and Kandinsky complemented by a selection of sculpture by artists including Rodin and Camille Claudel, the exhibition follows the creation of a new, modern art, free of convention, taking in Expressionism, Cubism and Abstraction.

Ce peintre toulousain, post impressionniste, s'est vite orienté vers le pointillisme, à la manière de Paul Signac. Peintre allégorique, son œuvre représente aussi largement des scènes champêtres et les bords de la Garonne. L'essentiel de ses tableaux se trouvent aujourd'hui au musée Henri Martin de Cahors.
