Who is Raoul Dufy?
Originally from Le Havre, Raoul Dufy was first influenced by the impressionists Claude Monet and Eugène Boudin, before the example of Henri Matisse and the beasts revealed to him the power of color and the strength of drawing.
It was in 1908, during a trip to the south of France in the company of Georges Braque, that Dufy surveyed the Cezanne lands of Estaque. While Braque embraced Cubism a year later, Dufy would continue to explore the work of Cezanne until the end of the 1910s. Thanks to him, he achieved his own style in the early 1920s: independence of color from drawing, simplification of forms in a composition that refuses any classical perspective.
