Born in Paris in a family of bourgeois merchants, Paul Signac grew up near Pigalle and Montmartre, rue Frochot. Imbued with the bohemian spirit of the district where he met various artists, he discovered in the galleries, Impressionist paintings.
When his father died, and his mother and grand-father moved to Asnières, Signac stopped his studies, rented a room in Montmartre and began his painter career as an autodidact. He was interested in Monet's work which was decisive in the choice of his style. His first paintings dated 1881-1882 were views of Montmartre and Asnières and studies of women, notably his future wife Berthe Roblès.
In 1883, he met Seurat who became his friend and who would strongly influence him. In 1884 he exhibited his first painting at the Salon des Indépendants and cofounded with Seurat the Société des artistes indépendants. In 1886, Signac participates in the VIIIth exhibition of the Impressionist and exhibited in New York, Nantes with Seurat and Pissarro considered as the "scientific Impressionists".

Biography

Paul-Victor-Jules Signac was born in Paris on 11 November 1863. His parents wanted him to study architecture but, as he said, his preference was to draw the Seine. He was particularly affected by an 1880 exhibition of Claude Monet's work. Signac began boating.

In 1884 he met Claude Monet and Georges Seurat. He was struck by the systematic working methods of Seurat and by his theory of colors and he became Seurat's faithful supporter, friend, and heir with his description of Neo-Impressionism and Divisionism method.^[4] Under Seurat's influence he abandoned the short brushstrokes of Impressionism to experiment with scientifically-juxtaposed small dots of pure color, intended to combine and blend not on the canvas, but in the viewer's eye, the defining feature of Pointillism.
