Item Number: 145178 Title: SIGNAC : Reflections on Water Author: Ferretti, Marina (et al) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788857234038 Description: Milano: Skira, 2017. 29cm., pbk., 184pp., 150 color illus. Exhibition held at Fondation de l'Hermitage, Lausanne. English edition. Summary: Almost 140 oil paintings, watercolours and drawings illustrate the prolific career of this neo-Impressionist master.This unique collection was assembled by a family with a passion for Signac’s art and constitutes one of the largest set of his works to be held in private hands. It offers a complete panorama of Signac’s artistic development, from his early Impressionist paintings through the heroic years of neo-Impressionism, the dazzle of Saint Tropez and flamboyant portrayals of Venice, Rotterdam and Constantinople to the late watercolours of the Ports of France series. The collection is also exceptional for the diversity of techniques on display, juxtaposing the Impressionist ardour of the studies from nature with the limpid polychromy of the pointillist paintings and the bold Japonism of the watercolours with the freedom of the plein air works. Meanwhile the great preparatory washes with drawings in Indian ink reveal the secrets of serene compositions that were long pondered in the studio. So as well as an introduction to Signac’s chromatic harmonies, this exhibition will also be a true voyage of discovery.
