Painting
P aul Signac, a founder of Neo-Impressionism and co-developer of Pointillism with Georges Seurat, evolved from Impressionist influences to create a precise, color-driven painting style showcased in the Salon des Indépendants. A politically engaged artist who openly supported anarchism, Signac left a lasting legacy, with his works now held in major museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Musée d’Orsay.
