Paul Signac is a simple painter, chiseling subject matter that was popular and commonplace in his time. As was his life and his paintings – commonplace. He married, left her later, shacked up with a woman, painted some, and died.
I have always liked this painting. I enjoy the seemingly random color placement of his work.
Paul Signac
French, 1863-1935
“Blessing of the Tuna Fleet at Groix”
1923, oil on canvas
Go see this at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts…
…it is worth a few moments of investigation.
