Story

Trees with trunks painted in blue line a sunlit square, their branches arching over a quiet bench set into the plaza. The scene is built entirely from tiny, distinct touches of pigment, mixing warm and cool colors across the ground and foliage. This piece, titled Place des Lices, St. Tropez, was created in 1893 by Paul Signac using oil, and it belongs to the Carnegie Museum of Art, having come to the museum through the generosity of the Sarah Mellon Scaife Family. Signac, born in 1863 and died in 1935, worked in the pointillist movement, building his compositions from small, separate dabs of color rather than blended strokes. Looking closely, the blue tree trunks stand out against the warm light filling the rest of the square, giving the quiet setting an unexpected vibrancy.
