The Jetty at Cassis 1889

"The Jetty at Cassis" is a 1889 painting by Paul Signac. This piece is representative of the artist's Neo-Impressionist style, using distinct dots of color (pointillism) to create the image. This method is particularly visible in the depiction of the water, the sandy beach, and the buildings. The painting captures the serene beauty of Cassis, a coastal town in the south of France, with its characteristic white sailboats and a picturesque jetty. Signac's works are known for their vibrant hues and harmonious compositions that portray the essence of the French Riviera.
