1896
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Harmonious Times is a 1896 by Paul Signac, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a busy riverside scene with lots of people doing different things. On the left, a man stands under a tree, holding something up. In the middle, a woman in a long dress holds a baby while others gather around her. To the right, a man leans on a pole, and a child reaches up toward him. The background has boats, buildings, and a hill with more people walking. The bright colors and simple shapes make it feel lively but calm. The artist used short, clean brushstrokes to show light and movement. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
