L’Artiste et son modèle

Raoul Dufy (French, 1877-1953) - L'Artiste et son modèle Dedicated à Messieurs Josse et Gaston, 1929 (Oil on canvas) - Rendered in a brilliant palette of blues and greens, L’Artiste et son modèle presents a seaside studio that overlooks a marine harbor teeming with activity. While incorporating his own self portrait as well as his archetypal nude, the artist further illustrates elements of both his window paintings of the 1920s and his studio series of the 1930s.
