Writer
Signac left several important works on the theory of art, among them From Eugène Delacroix to Neo-Impressionism, published in 1899; a monograph devoted to Johan Barthold Jongkind (1819–1891), published in 1927; several introductions to the catalogues of art exhibitions; and many other still unpublished writings.
Politically he was an anarchist, as were many of his friends, including Félix Fénéon and Camille Pissarro.

Famous quotes containing the word writer:
“The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it.”
—Karl Marx (18181883)
“Men like women who write. Even though they dont say so. A writer is a foreign country.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
“Criticism is often not a science; it is a craft, requiring more good health than wit, more hard work than talent, more habit than native genius. In the hands of a man who has read widely but lacks judgment, applied to certain subjects it can corrupt both its readers and the writer himself.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (16451696)
