RAOUL DUFY
Raoul Dufy sends a typed letter inviting his friend to visit.
Typed Letter Signed: "Raoul Dufy", 1 page, 8¼x10½. Perpignan,
(France), 1947 April 22. To Mr. Dunoyer de Segonzac, Saint-Tropez. In
French, not translated. Asking his friend, fellow French artist and engraver
Andred Dunoyer de Segonzac to visit and recommending a tour of the
surrounding countryside, adding: "...I work, it is the only agreeable
thing that remains to do down here. I believe that you are aware of that. As for
my health, there are highs and lows...I am very confident of the treatment I am
receiving now...." Five words in Dufy's hand. Versatile French
painter, muralist and graphic artist Raoul Dufy (1877-1953),
initially influenced by the Impressionists, later added his own flair to the
fauve school. His luminous, exuberant watercolors include scenes of
sailing and other outdoor amusements as well as flowers, musical instruments
and nudes. Perpignan was a favorite place of artists. Largely Catalan in
atmosphere, the Mediterranean city is noted for its fine architecture and art
treasures. Lightly creased, else fine.
