Portrait of Félix Fénéon
Paul Signac (1890)
Portrait of Félix Fénéon turns a critic into a <strong>conductor of color</strong>: a dandy in a yellow coat proffers a delicate cyclamen as concentric disks, whiplash arabesques, stars, and palette-like circles whirl around him. Rendered in precise <strong>Pointillist</strong> dots, the scene stages the fusion of <strong>art, science, and modern style</strong>.<sup>[1]</sup><sup>[2]</sup>
