Le Clipper, Asnieres 1887

Paul Signac’s “Le Clipper, Asnieres” (1887) is a prime example of Neo-Impressionism, a style that uses small dots of color to create an overall visual effect. This painting depicts a boat anchored under a bridge on the Seine River in Asnieres, France. Signac’s use of pointillism creates a sense of movement and vibrancy, particularly in the water and the sky. The colors are bright and contrasting, creating a sense of light and airiness. The work is part of a private collection.
