Portrait of Felix Feneon (1890) by Paul Signac from the Original Oil on Canvas, Art Print on Satin Canvas

Public domain art, digitally enhanced. Full title: Opus 17. Against the Enamel of a Background Rhythmic with Beats and Angles, Tones and Tints, Portrait of Félix Fénéon in 1890.

Félix Fénéon was an editor, translator, art dealer, and anarchist activist and the critic who coined the term Neo Impressionism to describe the works of Signac and Georges Seurat in the late 1880s. In this portrait, Signac depicted Fénéon in left profile. The lines of the subject's nose, elbow, and cane descend in a zigzag pattern, like the rhythmic 'beats and angles' of the title, and the flower he holds rhymes with the upturned curl of his goatee. Attention to abstract patterns continues in the kaleidoscopic pinwheel of the backdrop, likely an allusion to the aesthetic theory of Charles Henry, the Frenchman whose books on colour theory and the 'algebra' of visual rhythm Signac had recently illustrated.
