This exhibition catalog surveys the art and reevaluates the importance of Signac, dismissed as a talented mimic of Georges Seurat and whose historical significance is reduced to being an evangelical for Neo-Impressionism. The essays and catalog entries redirect understanding of the paintings, watercolors, and graphic productions toward what John Leighton (director, Van Gogh Museum), who clearly outlines Signac's career in the introductory essay, defines as an art of continual experimentation. The other authors, including eminent Signac scholar Feretti-Bocquillon, offer discerning assessments of his accomplishments as an artist, writer, and collector as well as insights into how his life and personality affected his art. Susan Alyson Stein (Metropolitan Museum of Art), in a most informative and enlightening essay, shows the artist was a sensitive and perceptive critic of earlier masters and contemporary painters. The exhaustively detailed chronology eases the following and understanding of events in Signac's life. This book, the most recent to consider all aspects of Signac's art and life, is highly recommended for general readers and both lower- and upper-division undergraduates; graduate students and beyond will find it useful but will also need to look to more specialized sources.

This volume, which accompanies a traveling exhibition now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is the first major overview of neoimpressionist artist Paul Signac in nearly 40 years. Tracing Signac's artistic development, the catalog effectively examines the artist's close relationship with fellow neoimpressionist Georges Seurat and shows how his interest in color, line, aesthetic harmony, and subjective experience in painting developed. The essays, written by American and French Signac scholars, demonstrate that the painter at first emulated Seurat's artistic style but then came to use more color and looser brushstrokes, and how as Signac worked more and more in the medium of watercolor, he produced some of his most successful works. Signac emerges as a theorist and critic through excerpts from his book, D'Eugne Delacroix au neo-impressionisme, in which he explained Neoimpressionism to the public. The artist's political motivations are also observed he always stood against official bourgeois conventions and in favor of liberal causes as are his efforts to support the arts in general. With beautiful illustrations and valuable, if not especially groundbreaking, information on Signac, this volume is recommended for all libraries that collect art books.
