Description: "This book the catalogue of the first retrospective of the work of the French Neoimpressionist artist Paul Signac to be held in nearly forty years accompanies the 2001 exhibition organised by the Reunion des Musees Nationaux/Musee d'Orsay Paris the Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam and The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York. This long overdue tribute to Signac's power of expression and artistic influence features some two hundred paintings drawings watercolours and prints from public and private collections worldwide. Fully illustrated in colour and discussed in individual entries these works offer an unprecedented overview of Signac's fifty-year career. Signac's artistic development began with the luminous plein air paintings he made in the early 1880s which reveal the lessons he absorbed from Monet Guillaumin and other leading Impressionists. From 1884 until 1891 Signac's close association with Georges Seurat encouraged his explorations of colour harmony contrasts and Neoimpressionist technique. In the scintillating works of his maturity the rigours of Pointillism gave way to richly patterned decorative colour surfaces. In a series of essays the exhibition's curators discuss Signac's richly interesting career from a variety of perspectives. John Leighton Director of the Van Gogh Museum provides an introductory essay that chronicles Signac's triumphs as a painter. The well-known Signac scholar Marina Ferretti Bocquillon focuses on Signac's achievements as a draftsman and watercolourist and Sjraar van Heugten Chief Curator of the Van Gogh Museum summarises Signac's activity as a printmaker. Anne Distel Chief Curator of the Musee d'Orsay examines Signac's role as a promoter of his own works and those of his colleagues and describes a host of other activities - beyond painting - that engaged Signac's interest. The final essays in this volume shed new light on Signac's appreciation of the works of his predecessors contemporaries and followers - as evidenced in his artworks in his published and unpublished writings and in his private collection. Susan Alyson Stein Associate Curator of European Paintings The Metropolitan Museum of Art examines the ways Signac understood the genius of such painters as Delacroix Monet Renoir Cezanne Van Gogh Bonnard and Matisse. Marina Ferretti Bocquillon explores the Signac's role as a collector providing a wealth of new information about the works he owned by fellow artists. Contributor Kathryn Calley Galitz is Research Associate in the Department of European Paintings at The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York. Lavishly illustrated with comparative and documentary photographs the volume includes an annotated chronology and a map that pinpoints the sites depicted in Signac's works." -- with a bonus offer--; This book the catalogue of the first retrospective of the work of the French Neoimpressionist artist Paul Signac to be held in nearly forty years accompanies the 2001 exhibition organised by the Reunion des Musees Nationaux/Musee d'Orsay Paris the Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam and The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York.
