The Pink Cloud
Pictures by Henri-Edmond Cross
Henri-Edmond Cross's The Pink Cloud shows a great rosy cloud rising over the Mediterranean at sunset, with a tall cypress standing in the green fields below. Cross lived near Saint-Tropez and, alongside Signac, took Seurat's dots into ever brighter colour, painting this scene in small square dabs. For someone who loves a quiet evening sky.
