Description
Paul Signac (French, 1863-1935) L'Eglise Saint-Nonna à Penmarch signed and inscribed 'P. Signac / Penmarch' (lower left); attributed on a presentation plaque watercolor and pencil on paper laid down to card 23.8 x 36.8 cm (9 3/8 x 14 1/2 in). framed 39.4 x 52.1 x 4.4 cm (15 1/2 x 20 1/2 x 1 3/4 in). Footnotes: Provenance Sale, Sotheby's, London, Impressionist and Modern Art and Ceramics, October 13, 1993, lot 24, illustrated. N.B. Signac was one of the most influential artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. He played a crucial part in the development of numerous painting schools and styles, including Pointillism, Neo-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism. He was a particularly important inspiration for and patron of the early 20th-century Fauves and Cubists. Signac was born in Paris and determined to study art at a young age. His earliest influences were Claude Monet and Georges Seurat, whom he met at age 21. Monet may have ignited Signac's passion for art, but it was Seurat alongside whom he began to incorporate the high-contrast colors and precise brushstrokes of Pointillism. Just a few years later, Signac met and became close with Vincent van Gogh and Toulouse Lautrec. The impact of these two artists on his work is evident: on top of the looseness of Impressionism and the scientific precision of Pointillism, Signac now began to incorporate a unique freeness of color and line. The present work demonstrates how effective Signac's sketches could be even with very few elements. Here we see his favored use of vivid colors in unexpected places and with unexpected juxtapositions. He makes bright strokes of orange, purple, and green on the church and fields, while leaving the sky sparsely and evocatively grey, giving the overall sense of a stormy seaside day. The authenticity of this work has been confirmed via in-person examination by Marina Ferretti. A copy of Mme. Ferretti's letter of acceptance will accompany this lot.
