Paul Signac

In November 1897 the Signacs moved to a new apartment in the Castel Béranger built by Hector Guimard and a little later in December of the same year acquired a house in Saint-Tropez called La Hune; there the painter had a vast studio constructed which he inaugurated on 16 August 1898. He sailed around the coasts of Europe painting the landscapes he encountered. In 1887 the two artists regularly went to Asnières-sur-Seine together where they painted such subjects as river landscapes and cafés.
