Paul Signac and Neoimpressionism - Symphony of Colors

The exhibition Symphony of Colors: Paul Signac and Neo-Impressionism is the first comprehensive Signac exhibition in Germany in 30 years; it highlights the artist’s central role within the Neo-Impressionist movement and explores his influence as a theorist, networker, and exhibition organizer.
The Neo-Impressionist paintings invite viewers to contemplate the harmony within the image, seeking a balance between often complementary colors, between verticals and horizontals, or between surface and space. Other works feature arabesque patterns that extend across the picture plane and abstract real objects. The exhibition Symphony of Colors: Paul Signac and Neo-Impressionism presents the artist as one of the central figures of this movement. It explores his artistic oeuvre, from the early coastal landscapes of the passionate sailor, through his interior and portrait paintings, to the socially utopian images of the Côte d’Azur, which he developed into a treasure trove of motifs for Modernism.
