Raoul Dufy

From DJ flap - Author brings Dufy to life, sketching his youth and apprenticeship in the arts; his years as a textile designer and art directory, first for the French couturier Paul Poiret, and then for a silk firm in Lyons; and his years of triumph as an artist second only to Matisse in his power to evoke a perfect world of balance, purity, and serenity. Forty color plates with commentaries. (Description by http-mart)
