Antibes, the Pink Cloud 1916

"Antibes, the Pink Cloud" (1916) by Paul Signac, a prominent Neo-Impressionist painter, is a vibrant depiction of a seascape with a prominent pink cloud dominating the canvas. Signac's signature Pointillist technique, where small dots of color are applied to the canvas, is evident in the way he renders the clouds, water, and distant coastline, creating a shimmering effect. This artwork, part of a private collection, exemplifies Signac's interest in capturing light and color, characteristic of the Neo-Impressionist movement. The painting reflects the artist's fascination with the French Riviera and its natural beauty, with Antibes being a frequent subject of his work.
