Concarneau, Paul Signac, 1891
Maybe something about this kind of rough application of paint that allows for some experience that wouldn't be there with a more realistic painting. This is like the idea of the thing, like the magic of the scene was separated from its reality and emphasized. All the texture and physical sense of the paint gives it a feel, also. I don't even care what the real place looks like, I like this version of it. Great colors.
Anyway I'm sure there are writers who have expressed what's going on in these types of paintings very well already. I really like this one a lot.
