Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) was a multi-skilled French painter who explored Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism during his career as an artist. He was well known for depicting the leisurely activities of his day which consisted of many outdoor scenes. In 1905, Dufy was exposed to a painting by the Fauvist Henri Matisse, which steered him away from Impressionism and towards the bright, passionate boldness of Fauvism. He would later dabble in Cubism as well. Throughout all of his stylistic explorations, Dufy’s work remained primarily cheerful and pleasant to the eye. In the 1920s he began designing ceramics, tapestries, and architectural decorations as well.
