Watch Mary Alexander, one of the finest Dufy experts in the world, giving a short talk on Raoul Dufy (1877-1953), one of the greats of 20th century art.
Dufy's name can be spoken of in the same breath as giants such as Picasso, Braque and Matisse. Yet he is not so widely known in the UK as he is in other countries around the world. It maybe because Dufy’s work could not be easily categorised by post war British art critics. Indeed Dufy could not be put in any box. He was constantly innovating and experimenting with new materials and effects to deliver works that were sophisticated and joyous in equal measure.
Dazzling Dufy, which will be on show at Goldmark from 22 February 2025, will capture Dufy’s spirt and energy.
