Laffaille, Maurice: Raoul Dufy - Catalogue Raisonné de l'oeuvre peint de 1895 à 1915, Tome 1, GenÚve 1972, Wvz.-Nr. 37 mit Abb.
Ab 1892 Besuch der Abendkurse der StĂ€dtischen Zeichenschule in Le Havre unter der Leitung von Charles Lhuillier, wo er Georges Braque und Othon Friesz kennenlernte. Bis 1898 malte Dufy PortrĂ€ts und Landschafts-Aquarelle nach der Natur im Stil von EugĂšne Boudin und Camille Pissarro. Mit einem Stipendium der Stadt Le Havre ging er nach Paris, wo er sich an der EcBA bei LĂ©on Bonnat einschrieb, dessen akademische Malweise ihn rasch langweilte. Richtungweisende Impulse fĂŒr das FrĂŒhwerk erhielt Dufy durch regelmĂ€Ăige Besuche der Galerien Ambroise Vollard, Durand-Ruel, EugĂšne Blot und Bernheim Jeune, die sich fĂŒr den Impressionismus und Nachimpressionismus engagierten. Neben diesen EinflĂŒssen wurden 1905 (Salon d'Automne) das Bild Luxe, calme et voluptĂ© (1904, Paris, MAMVP) von Henri Matisse und dessen farbige Malweise zu einem SchlĂŒsselerlebnis. Dufy's erste unmodellierte, aus reinen Farben aufgebaute Bilder entstanden auf Reisen nach FĂ©camp, Sainte-Adresse, Trouville und Le Havre sowie wĂ€hrend eines Aufenthalts mit Friesz in Falaise. (AKL)
Aus dieser frĂŒhen Schaffensphase, in der Farbe zum wichtigsten Mittel des noch experimentierenden KĂŒnstlers zĂ€hlt, stammt auch das hier vorgestellte GemĂ€lde. In lockerem Duktus setzt Dufy unterschiedlichste GrĂŒntöne nebeneinander und offenbart dem Betrachter ein wunderbar flackerndes Spiel aus Licht und Schatten.

Laffaille, Maurice: Raoul Dufy - Catalogue Raisonné de l'oeuvre peint de 1895 à 1915, vol.
1, GenĂšve 1972, cat.rais.-no.37 with fig.
Since 1892 he attended evening seminars at the urban drawing school in Le Havre conducted by Charles Lhuillier. Here he met Georges Braque and Othon Friesz. Until 1898 Dufy painted portraits and landscape watercolours based on nature, in the style of EugĂšne Boudin and Camille Pissarro. He moved to Paris on a scholarship granted by Le Havre and
enrolled at the EcBA under Léon Bonnat, whose academic style of painting he was soon wearied of. His early work was strongly inspired by regular visits to galleries, run by
Ambroise Vollard, Durand-Ruel, EugÚne Blot, and Bernheim Jeune. They were committed to impressionism and post-impressionism. Among these influences the Henry Matisse painting Luxe, calm et volupté (1904, Paris, MAMVP) and its colouring became crucial in 1905 (Salon d'Automne).
Dufy's first paintings free of object-oriented modelling and composed of pure colours were created while travelling to Fécamp, Sainte-Adresse, Trouville, and Le Havre. As well as during the stay in Falaise together with Friesz. (Cited and translated from: AKL)
The present painting stems from this early period when colour was the artist's most important mean of expression. And while he was still interested in trying out new ways of painting. The different green shades Dufy arranged next to one another and applied in loose ductus, reveal an amazing flickering interplay between light and shadow to the beholder.
We would like to draw attention to the exhibition Raoul et Jean Dufy - Complicité et rupture currently held in the Museum Marmottan Monet, Paris, from 14 April - 26 June, 2011.
