Entrance of port Collioure 

Here we have Henri Martin's painting "Entrance of Port Collioure". The eye is immediately struck by the mosaic of colors that define every form and surface. The entire composition is built from tiny, individual strokes, creating a shimmering, vibrating effect. Martin applies color theory to full effect, juxtaposing complementary hues to maximize luminosity and visual impact. Notice the touches of orange against the blues of the water and sky, each enhancing the other. This technique, drawn from pointillism, serves not only to depict light but also to fragment and reconstruct the very fabric of the scene. Martin's use of color functions as a structural element, breaking down traditional perspective and depth into a series of chromatic relationships. Rather than simply representing the entrance of the port, Martin constructs a new visual language that challenges our perception. The painting invites us to reconsider how we perceive and interpret the world around us.
