"Port of Saint-Cast" (1890) by Paul Signac is a quintessential example of Neo-Impressionism. The painting, executed using the pointillist technique, features a serene seascape with boats, a sandy shore, and a hill in the distance. Signac meticulously applied small dots of pure color, allowing the viewer's eye to blend them optically. The overall effect is a vibrant, shimmering light that captures the beauty of the French coastline. This work exemplifies Signac's dedication to color theory and his exploration of the interplay of light and form.
