PAUL SIGNAC La Bouée (Saint-Tropez: Le Port).
Color lithograph on Chine volant, 1894. 400x321 mm; 15¾x12⅝ inches, full margins. Signed and numbered 39/60 in pencil, lower right. Printed by Auguste Clot, Paris. Published by Gustave Pellet, Paris. A superb impression with vibrant colors.
An avid sailor, Signac (1863-1935) started traveling by a small boat he owned in 1892 into the early 1900s to almost all the ports of France, as well as to the Netherlands and around the Mediterranean as far as Constantinople. He made numerous watercolor studies and oils of these ports, and also several color lithographs, notably St. Tropez, where he based his boat, and La Rochelle, a port in southwestern France, all in his characteristic Pointillist style. Kornfeld 9.
