Signac, the colours of water

Exhibit in Giverny France 2013

Giverny Museum of Impressionisms

From March 29th, through July 2nd, 2013

The exhibition will number approximately 120 paintings, watercolours and drawings. These will be supported by substantial documentation (photographs, publications and correspondence) that will be presented with the assistance of the Archives Signac.

Like Monet, Paul Signac found a constant source of inspiration in the depiction of water and its colours. From his early seascapes, painted on the beaches of Normandy with an impressionist vigour and freedom, to his large post-war architectonic port scenes in almost fluorescent colours, the description of the water and sky offered Signac an inexhaustible pretext to experiment with all variety of chromatic combinations.
