## Commentary

The exact title of this painting is: Opus 217. Against the Enamel of a Background Rhythmic with Beats and Angles, Tones, and Tints, Portrait of M. Félix Fénéon. Felix Fénéon was an art dealer, collector, curator, political activist, critic, and friend of Signac who shared the artist&#39;s interests in science and Japanese prints. In this portrait Signac achieved with extraordinary lucidity a reconciliation between requirements of representation and the Neo-Impressionist tendency to make of colour arranged in geometric rhythms an end in itself.
