Biography:
Trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, Raoul Dufy originally was attracted to the concepts of Impressionism, Cubism, and Fauvism. He took a brief respite from painting in order to design textile patterns, book illustrations, and graphic design in 1907. After settling on the French Riviera in 1917, he began painting again using Chinese calligraphy as inspirations for his large paintings infused with black lines. In 1938, Dufy’s completed one of the largest paintings ever done, a mural for the Exposition Universelle in Paris.
