Le Pin Bertaud 1909

"Le Pin Bertaud," created in 1909 by Paul Signac, is a striking example of the artist's signature Pointillist style. The artwork features a large pine tree dominating the composition, its branches and foliage rendered in a series of small, distinct dots of black ink. Signac's use of pointillism, a technique developed in the late 19th century, creates a vibrant and textural effect that captures the essence of the natural world. The piece is currently on display at the Städel Museum, showcasing Signac's masterful ability to translate light and shadow through the meticulous application of dots.
