Raoul Dufy is one of the most influential French artists of the 20th century. Painter, draftsman, ceramist, fabric designer, and decorator, he, like Paul Gauguin, was able to abolish the boundaries between major and minor arts. His paintings and drawings highlight themes dear to the artist: the sea, regattas, music, and festivals adorned with bright colors. This book highlights a lesser-known facet of the artist, who multiplied his experiments in the field of decorative arts, inspired by his woodcuts for Apollinaire's "Bestiary." He collaborated with the famous couturier Paul Poiret and the Bianchini-Férier company, one of Lyon's leading silk houses. Dresses and fabrics provide a glimpse of the boldness and precision of Dufy's discoveries, which largely fueled the inventiveness of the great couturiers of the Roaring Twenties. An invitation to discover the diversity of the work of a champion of modernity and the joy of living. Didn't Gertrude Stein say that "Raoul Dufy is pleasure"?
