Original lithographic poster commissioned by the French Office for Tourism to promote Dufy's exhibition at the Musée National d'Art Moderne.
Published by Mourlot, Paris.
The image is taken from a 1930's work and is typical of the cheerful oils and watercolors Dufy created. His infamous delight in rich colour, linear shape and the equine form are elements for which this French artist is most readily associated.
Linen backed for museum conservation.

Born in Le Havre, Dufy was from a large family and had to start work at the age of 14. He studied art at night school, eventually receiving a grant enabling him to attend the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Impressionistic at first, he became a convert to Fauvism under the influence of Matisse. He also collaborated with Braque, but soon developed the highly personal manner for which he became famous. Dufy’s work is characterized by brightly coloured drawings suiting the glittering scenes of luxury and pleasure he favoured; the accessibility of his work lent itself to commercial advertising and widely copied as a result. Dufy died at Forcalquier in 1953 and was buried near Matisse in Cimiez, a suburb of the city of Nice.
