While Kandinsky (1866-1944) is known as a great, pioneering abstract artist, he had to work to get there. This image is from his transitional period, moving from representational art to the abstract. Here, we have a simple image of a winter landscape, but it's an absolute riot of color, with the snowy fields being almost a mosaic of colored dots that create a greater whole, like a TV image.
A nice reminder that even in the simplest scenes of winter snow, there's still a ton of color to be found!

Redon, a Symbolist painter known for some very dark, macabre, and surreal works, also did a lot of floral paintings, mostly in pastels but also oils. Some folks disdain his darker stuff but adore the florals; to be honest, I like them both but favor the dark stuff just a bit more.
Signac was a student of Seurat and after his teacher's death, deserted the hustle and bustle of Paris for a quiet life in a small town on the Mediterranean. While still pointillist, he began modifying his style, using mosaiclike squares rather than dots, and using different media than the usual oils.
