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(1819–1891), published in 1927; several introductions to the catalogues of art exhibitions; and many other still unpublished writings.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:

    I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    A writer is like a bean plant—he has his little day, and then he gets stringy.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    Every writer hopes or boldly assumes that his life is in some sense exemplary, that the particular will turn out to be universal.
    Martin Amis (b. 1949)
