Les Tours Vertes, La Rochelle 1913

"Les Tours Vertes, La Rochelle" (1913) by Paul Signac exemplifies his signature Neo-Impressionist style, also known as Pointillism. This technique involves applying small dots of pure color side-by-side, allowing the viewer's eye to blend them optically. Signac, inspired by the scientific color theories of Seurat, captures the vibrancy of the La Rochelle harbor, with its green towers, blue sky, and colorful sailboats, all rendered in a shimmering mosaic of dots. The painting exudes a sense of light and movement, showcasing the beauty of this picturesque French port city.
