Edam Windmill ☴ Signac ☷ Canvas

Edam Windmill (1896, Moulin d'Edam) by Paul Signac depicts a windmill towering above the flat Dutch countryside. Signac was exploring a looser, more rectangular brushstroke similar to a mosaic, as opposed to the precise dots common in pointillism. Here with dense layers of rhythmic, overlapping brushwork, each stroke is set at a particular angle to achieve a criss-cross effect in the sky, and halo effect around the sun. This windmill may have been inspired by those of Monet, an important figure within Signac’s artistic life. When he was asked what had prompted him to become an artist, Signac replied without hesitation, "It is Monet."

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.

⿻ Materials

Giclée printed with eco-solvent inks to resist fading for over 100 years

Canvases are archival-grade, acid-free, satin-finish polycotton fabric

Frames and stretcher bars are solid wood with black backboard and hanging wire installed
