Pontillism

sometimes you have to start the new scribblejournal with some neurotic pontillism & the everly brothers

don't look at the Babel eye

Bathed in the rich golden light of the setting sun, the port of Saint Tropez appears as a tranquil haven in Signac’s "Le Port au soleil couchant, Opus 236 (Saint Tropez)," one of the first works he created following his arrival in the scenic harbour town. Escaping what he referred to as the ‘so-called intellectual crap’ of the Parisian art scene, Signac had travelled south in the spring of that year, following the recommendations of his friend and fellow pointillist, Henri Edmond Cross, who had recently moved to the area. Arriving into the port of Saint-Tropez aboard his yacht during the second week of May, he found a bucolic world of sunshine and sailing, an untouched oasis that had retained its timeless character during a period in which the French landscape was being dramatically transformed by encroaching industrialisation. Signac eloquently conveys an impression of this peaceful atmosphere in this composition, focusing on the elegant curves of a traditional tartane fishing boat as it pulls into harbour for the evening, its sails caught by the breeze. The harbour walls curve around the small inlet, demarcating the confines of the port while simultaneously anchoring and balancing the water-filled composition. Painted in individual daubs of vibrant, saturated, complementary colours, Signac uses the intricate pointillist technique to capture the spectacular drama of the evening light, focusing on the contrasting play of deep violet shadows and the final golden rays of the day.
