French, 1863–1935
Paul Signac (1863–1935) was a French painter who, alongside Georges Seurat, developed the technique of Pointillism within the Neo-Impressionist movement. Born in Paris, he initially considered architecture but chose painting, influenced by an exhibition of Claude Monet. Signac was known for his seascapes and scenes of ports and rivers, often inspired by his time sailing and his stays in southern France. He played a leading role in founding the Société des Artistes Indépendants and served as its President from 1908 until his death.
