La salle à manger 1886 - 1887

"La salle à manger" (1886-1887) by Paul Signac is an example of Pointillism, a technique that utilizes distinct dots of pure color to create an image. The painting depicts a scene of daily life, with three figures gathered around a table in a dining room. The use of small dots of color creates a sense of vibrancy and luminosity, particularly noticeable in the light filtering through the window. This work showcases Signac's dedication to Neo-Impressionist principles, which emphasized scientific observation and the exploration of color theory.
