        <h1>Raoul Dufy (1877-1953)</h1>
      </div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dufy_r/Dufy-R_TheEiffelTower1935.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Eiffel Tower, 1935</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Raoul Dufy was born into a large family in Le Havre, France. He was the older brother and mentor of fellow painter Jean Dufy. At the age of 14, Dufy left school to work in a coffee company, but at 18, was able to begin classes at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Le Havre. Dufy would go on to spend a year in the military and in 1900, won a scholarship to go to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dufy_r/Dufy-R_RacingatAscot.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Racing at Ascot</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">While in Paris, Dufy became friends with fellow painter Georges Braque. During this time, he was heavily influenced by the Impressionistic landscape painters of the day. Dufy went through a number of phases in the beginning of his artistic career, from Impressionism to Fauvism to Cubism. Dufy’s work mirrored all of these styles, but he essentially did not fit into the mold of any one of these movements. He finally developed his own style of colorful and highly structured compositions painted in swift brush strokes of typical open-air Parisian scenes and landscapes. This style became known as Stenographic.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dufy_r/Dufy-R_Paysageavecmaisons.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Paysage avec Maisons</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dufy_r/Dufy-R_BorddeMerenSicile1922.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Bord de Mer en Sicile, 1922</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">*Note the “Stenographic” style in these two paintings—swift repetitious brushstrokes on the canvas as a part of the composition.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Dufy had his first exhibition in 1901 at the Salon des Artistes Français. He became well known, not only as a painter, but also as a decorative arts designer. Dufy created fabric designs and book illustrations as well as decoration for china and more.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dufy_r/Dufy-R_TextileDesign1920.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Textile Design, 1920</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dufy_r/Dufy-R_TheFarmerlithograph.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Farmer, lithograph</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Many critics note that Dufy was a master in the use of color, and did not let the classical limitations and rules of color theory apply to his paintings. Sometimes a painting of Dufy’s would be composed of one sweeping color over the entire canvas, bleeding into sections where it couldn’t. Some critics called this work sloppy or uninspired, but it was a style all it’s own and set him apart from other artists, and through this color theory created bright and cheerful compositions. Dufy would also paint through a perspective all his own, be it from above or afar, and break the traditional rule of painting what you see.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dufy_r/Dufy-R_InteriorwithOpenWindow.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Interior with Window Open</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">However, because Dufy taught and mentored his younger brother Jean, their paintings and style often mirrored one another. Some authenticators may find it difficult to distinguish between the two brothers styles, but an educated eye will be able to tell one from the other.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/dufy_r/Dufy-R_JardinaHyeres.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Jardin a Hyeres</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Dufy continued to paint nearly up until his death, creating still life and nude portraits in the studio mainly toward the end. Dufy was truly an artist before his time, and is perhaps even more in-demand now than ever. Today his work is housed worldwide, and perhaps even in your own home.</p>
