Raoul Dufy Art Prints

From Paris to the Riviera, Raoul Dufy's lively watercolors capture the essence and energy of France during the early 20th century. Born in LeHavre in 1877, Dufy began his studies there, taking night classes at L'cole des Beaux Arts. In 1900, after being awarded a scholarship to pursue his artistic ambitions, the artist moved to Paris and enrolled at the Cole Nationale Superieure de Beaux Arts. While the Impressionist dominated Parisian art had a profound impact on Dufy's early landscapes, the artist attended an exhibition of the Salon des Independants of 1905 and was struck by the dazzling colors of Matisse and the Fauvist group. This encounter radically changed the artist's approach to painting. Dufy immediately began to incorporate the lively brush strokes and brilliant color of Fauvism into his work. Working primarily in watercolor, the artist developed a signature technique of highly stylized calligraphic drawings accented with washes of bold color. Many of the artist's best known paintings are of the seaside and around the Mediterranean. These immensely popular works exude spontaneity with their exuberant color and dynamic line. Dufy extended his works to innovative fabric design, book illustration, ceramics and tapestry. Although he died in 1953, Dufy's highly decorative works retain a level of freshness and verve that keep them popular with modern audiences.
