Exhibition "Raoul Dufy: a passion for colour"

6 May-18 September 2022

In 2022, the Hôtel de Caumont Art Centre will focus on the work of the French painter Raoul Dufy (1877 - 1953). Presenting more than ninety works, largely from the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, and also from French and international public and private collections, the exhibition reflects the artist’s great virtuosity, employing a wide variety of techniques, from oils to watercolour, drawing, engraving and ceramics.
The exhibition presents paintings, drawings, and ceramic articles, as well as Dufy’s highly subtle illustration work—which highlights his talent as a draughtsman and colourist.
