Home > Raoul Dufy


Raoul Dufy ( June 3, 1877 - March 23, 1953) was a French Fauvist painter born in Le Havre in Normandy. He developed a colourful, decorative style that became fashionable for designs for ceramics, textiles and decorative schemes for public buildings. He is noted for scenes of open-air social events.

The optimistic and fashionably decorative and illustrative nature of much of his work has meant that his output is less highly critically valued than artists who treat a wider range of social concerns.

Dufy passed away in 1953 and was buried not far from Henri Matisse in the Cimiez Monastery Cemetery in Cimiez, a suburb of the city of Nice, France.
