Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Women at the Well, Opus 238." Paul Signac, 1892.</p><p>I've talked about Signac before. While I'm not a huge fan of Pointillism, and I consider Seurat overrated (there, I said it, I expect people to unfollow me now), but his works have a certain appeal.</p><p>Here we have two ladies at a well overlooking the Mediterranean. This scene is just DRENCHED with sunlight; in fact, the yellowness of the grass hints that there might be a bit of a drought going on. Signac would spend half of each year at Saint-Tropez, on the French Riviera, where his paintings sought to depict an ideal society. This was originally to have been part of a grander, sweeping canvas....but he decided the two ladies at the well were enough.</p><p>This is also a great example of "artistic license" as a concept. Most of the elements here do exist...the lighthouse, the well, the distant mountains, the citadel on a hill....but they don't exist together like this. But he put them together to make an idealized view. Kind of like putting the Washington Monument next to the Empire State Building in a picture...</p><p>Makes me think of summer...</p><p>From the Musée d'Orsay, Paris.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PaulSignac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PaulSignac</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenInArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Riviera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Riviera</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SaintTropez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaintTropez</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NeoImpressinism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeoImpressinism</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pointillism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pointillism</span></a></p>
