Description: "The Raoul Dufy's works reproduced in this book come from private collections. They have the particularity to be unknown by the general public. The present modest work has only confined itself to their reproductions. Dufy had a unique strength and a very personal vision which will surprise and delight viewers. Dufy conceives the world in terms of hues that others can scarcely imagine. He transformed Fauvism's flat bold palette and spontaneous drawing into a personal style filled with lyrical line and sumptuous colour. We are sure that a lot of people will forget their problems during a short time, in recovering the pictures a gone age, deservedly called 'La Belle Epoque', so rightly expressed in the Raoul Dufy's work."--Preface.
Notes: Published in conjunction with an exhibition of works from European private collections held at the Musée national d'histoire et d'art and BGL BNP Paribas, Luxembourg, Aug. 10, 2010-Jan. 9, 2011.
