Raoul Dufy: Paintings and Textile Designs

Bold brushstrokes, breezy scenes of leisure and a fascination with using color for emotional expression are just some of the characteristics of Raoul Dufy’s expansive works. The artist belongs to a group of French painters named les fauves (the wild beasts) but also branched into textile design, creating sumptuous, vivid fabric designs that proved sensational in 20th century France. This exhibition at the Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art presents Dufy in the light of both an artist and designer, showcasing works that continue to charm audiences today.
