'''Paul Signac''' (born [[Paris]], 1863 – Paris, 1935) Neo-Impressionist French painter and art writer. He studied with [[Armand Guillaumin]]. Signac met [[Claude Monet]] and helped establish the Salon des Artistes Indépendants in 1884 where [[George-Pierre Seurat]] exposed his ''Bathers at Asniéres''. Signac and Seurat developed the [[Neo-Impressionism]] movement and [[Pointillism]] technique. They created the group "Impressionnistes dits scientifiques".
His paintings are mainly of the French coast; St. Tropez, Cherbourg, Marseille, Nice, Collioure, Ste. Maxime and La Rochelle. His early works were done around Asnières (Paris). Signac loved painting the water and sailing.
