Saint-Tropez: The Port, 1897-1898. Creator: Paul Signac (French, 1863-1935)
Saint-Tropez: The Port, 1897-1898. Signac adapted for the lithographic process the style he and George Seurat (1859-1891) developed in the 1880s for painting: pointillism. Brilliantly coloured dots were juxtaposed to produce a full optical tonal range more luminous than can be obtained from pigments mixed on the palette. Saint-Tropez, printed in six colours (blue, blue-gray, red, pink, yellow, and green), demonstrates that lithography was a perfect vehicle for translating these artists scientific ideas about colour

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Saint-Tropez: The Port, 1897-1898" by Paul Signac transports viewers to the picturesque coastal town of Saint-Tropez in late 19th century France. Created using the innovative technique of pointillism, Signac and George Seurat's artistic style from the 1880s, this lithographic adaptation showcases a stunning play of brilliantly colored dots that come together to form a mesmerizing visual experience. The use of juxtaposed dots in six vibrant colors - blue, blue-gray, red, pink, yellow, and green - creates an optical tonal range that surpasses traditional pigments mixed on a palette. This technique infuses the artwork with an unparalleled luminosity that brings life to every detail captured within it. Signac's mastery over color theory is evident in this piece as he skillfully translates his scientific ideas about color onto lithography. By employing this medium for his work, he demonstrates how lithography becomes the perfect vehicle for capturing and conveying these revolutionary concepts. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Art/Heritage Images collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness the charm and beauty of Saint-Tropez through Signac's visionary eyes. It serves as a testament to his artistic genius and contribution to art history while reminding us of the timeless allure found within each brushstroke or dot meticulously placed on canvas or paper.
