Jean Dufy (1888-1964)

Le Havre was an endless source of inspiration for Jean Dufy and many of these peers, as this view of the English Channel basin attests.

This joyous composition is a teeming scene in the toned-down blues and greens typical of Jean Dufy's art, worthy of his brother Raoul.

At the Hotel Martinez in Cannes, it took all of four days to sell the lots in sessions mainly dedicated to Old Masters, modern art and jewelry.

From Dufy to Angarola, the program was rich and during the lockdown a journey through painting is a tempting invitation.

Unsurprisingly, the work by the expressionist artist set the tone in the bidding at Saint-Brieuc. In its wake came an early figure by Pompon and a seascape by Jean Dufy.

Le Douanier Rousseau, Raden Saleh, Raoul Dufy and a world record for Georges Kars… A winning quartet in a sale dedicated to modern art. 

The Dufy brothers are still inseparable. This auction featuring four works each by Raoul and Jean attests to their artistic complicity.

French forest animals sculpted by Rembrandt Bugatti proudly lead the way in front of beasts from the savannah.

Painted when the artist was not yet famous, this seaside subject puts people at the center of the composition.

This Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) painting found in an antique dealer’s collection recalls that, despite his academic reputation, he was a bold artist with no peer when it came to creating powerful images.
