Tradition and Innovation installation
August 2003
Signac met Georges Seurat while in his early twenties and quickly adopted the innovative painter’s divisionist technique of Neo-Impressionism (also referred to as Pointillism). It was not until around 1900 that he began to take liberties with the rigorous technique. He realized that the system of tiny dots of pure color blended into a dusty haze that was well suited to effects of luminosity. His landscape paintings thereby became studies of light and atmosphere rather than explorations of color theory and optics.
