Catalogue Note
Jeanne Selmersheim-Desgrange studied under Signac, whose Pointillist style is evident in her work. They became lovers around 1908. In 1913 Signac left his wife to live with her, though she was also married; she gave birth to their child, a daughter, Ginette, in October that year. They continued to live together until Signac's death in 1935.
