A quiet street glows under a soft violet evening sky. Lit windows dot the dark buildings like scattered jewels. A single figure walks along the sidewalk. This lithograph by Signac shows how light and color change at dusk. He used just five colors to build depth and mood. The print feels calm, almost still. If you like this, look up Signac, Paul next.
