1923
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Flooded Seine in 1910 (La Seine en crue, en 1910) is a 1923 ink by Paul Signac, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a dark, rainy scene by a river. Tall trees line the bank, their branches heavy with water. A few people stand under umbrellas, walking along a narrow path. The ground looks muddy, and the sky is thick with clouds. The artist used rough, scratchy lines to show the wetness and gloom. The print feels almost like a sketch, with no smooth colors. Next, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
Paul Victor Jules Signac ( seen-YAHK, French: ; 11 November 1863 – 15 August 1935) was a French Neo-Impressionist painter who, with Georges Seurat, helped develop the artistic technique Pointillism.
