very poetic

there is an element of loneliness as each figure seems isolated and withdrawn from the others

I use color more arbitrarily

with no definitive answer

a reminder of death

Grand Canal, Venice ☱ Signac ☵ Canvas Add a Float Frame:Espresso very poeticEntrance to the Grand Canal, Venice (1905, Le Grand Canal Venise) by Paul Signac depicts the waters of the Grand Canal lined with many gondolas, and the Dogana da Mar and Santa Maria della Salute in the background. While Seurat applied paint in dots, Signac favored longer dashes that resemble the individual stones of a mosaic, influenced by the Byzantine mosaics he had viewed on trips to Istanbul and Venice.
