Blue is the only color that can maintain its character in all shades, it will remain blue forever, while yellow will turn black in its shadow and fade when it becomes brighter; red will turn brown when it darkens, and the color blended with white will no longer be red, but another color— pink. --Ural Duffy
Duffy's paintings do not speak through the object itself, but infect the viewer through the recreated artistic image. Duffy never valued honor, he was just a painter who lived to paint, and he was noticed by the world for his contributions to modern art.
Raoul Dufy (1877-1953)
There are also translations into Raul. Du Fei's is actually the same person.
Duffy worked part-time at the age of 14, attended evening art school in his spare time, and at the age of 23 won a considerable scholarship to study painting at the Bona studio at the Bonaparte School of Fine Arts in Paris. At that time, the art of the Louvre masters frightened him, and it was Van Gogh who really discussed art with him. When he saw Matisse's Magnificent Tranquility and Pleasure in 1905, he said: "Before this painting I understood all the principles of painting and the meaning of its existence, and saw the magical imagination reflected in sketches and colors, and Impressionist realism lost its charm for me." From then on he abandoned his early style and became a major general in Fauvism.
▲ "Luxury, Tranquility and Happiness" Matisse
In 1912, Raoul Duffy settled in Paris and became acquainted with Braque, Picasso and the poet and critic Apollinaire. His first few watercolor paintings, exhibited at the Porterville Gallery in 1914, used dark browns, blues, and deep reds on the one hand, and were doped with halo techniques on the other.
▲ The port of Honfleur
Raoul Duffy traveled extensively in his later years, and by this time he had a place in the world of painting, and his works were not only regularly exhibited in Paris and New York, but also collected by the most famous Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. By and large, Raoul Duffy was a representative member of the Fauvism who was romantically happy.
▲ Street with flags, Le Havre
They are arrangements of the freedom of pure color, with their unexpected solemnity, unbridled self-affirmation. In order to highlight the joyful atmosphere, Duffy did not hesitate to break all the principles of proportion, enlarging the flags in the background several times, so that the red, white and blue combination has a lyrical temperament, and they become the "protagonists" of the picture. Later, in "Shadow of the Sun", he boldly placed a large piece of red in the center of the whole picture, free and free, without scruples.
▲ Prom
Duffy took inspiration from the Impressionist painters Camille Pissarro and Claude Monet and took a closer look at Paul Cézanne and Henri Mtis. He usually paints casual scenes, seascapes (often those of the French Riviera) and interiors, a vibrant red scene reminiscent of Matisse's own representation of the same subject.
▲ Harvest
The playful style and appealing subject matter of Raoul Duffy's paintings have influenced and inspired many later generations of fine art and decorative artists.
Optimistic and rational, Lauer Duffy began to look for an art form that suited him after experimenting with Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism. At that time, the colorful art forms and artistic concepts of modern art were constantly changing and conflicting, and Duffy did not follow the tide of modern art, but adhered to his artistic ideals and created a unique "Duffy style" to enrich the language of modern art.
In 1953, Duffy won the International Painting Prize at the 26th Venice Biennale, and on March 23 of the same year, Duffy died at the age of 76. At the funeral, Runie Gus read aloud the altarpiece, and he spoke to the hearts of the people: "The little joys of life have gone with Duffy, and if he had not left immortal works, we may not have loved the sky and the earth so much in the future." ”
