Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) Raoul Dufy was born in Le Havre, Normandy, and first attended the arts school of his hometown before studying at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. From there, Dufy transferred to the studio of the French painter Léon Bonnat. At the beginning influenced by the Impressionists, a painting by Henri Matisse led him to Fauvism and his works became richer in color. Later he was also inspired by Braque's Cubism and the works by Cézanne. In 1906 Dufy had his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Berthe Weill in Paris. In addition to his paintings and drawings, he designed fabric patterns for the fashion house Poiret and created ceramics, woodblock prints and designs for tapestries. Beginning in 1920 he made regularly trips to the South of France. Here he painted numerous sailing regattas, horse races and landscapes in luminous colors. For the Paris World Exhibition in 1937 Dufy created the Pavillon de la Lumière; in 1952 he received the main painting prize at the Venice Biennial. Some of his works were exhibited posthumously at the documenta I (1955) and the documenta III (1964) in Kassel. (cko) Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
