Paul Signac Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle

The Lagoon of Saint Mark, Venice (1905)

Paul Signac (1863 - 1935) was one of the most influential Neo-Impressionist painters of his time. With his friend Georges Seurat (1859 - 1891), he moved the artistic breakthroughs of the Impressionists in a more disciplined direction with a study of modern optics and color theory.

Signac's Lagoon of Saint Mark, Venice in the Chrysler's collection, is a stunning example of Pointillism, though by 1905 the artists was using larger, mosaic-like squares of bold color. Up close, only careful groups of brightly hued brushstrokes are visible. A few steps back, a dream seascape emerges.
