Anemones II - Raoul Dufy
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
This painting is one of a number of floral still lifes by Raoul Dufy, a subject he approached with freedom throughout his career. Here, he doesn't seek to render a precise botany, but to explore variations in form, color and line based on a bouquet arranged in a central vase.
The composition shows a large bouquet of multicolored anemones set in a pale green vase. The flowers are stylized, with visible black outlines, and stand out against a uniform cream background. The palette is vivid: red, pink, violet, white and green dominate the scene, with a few touches of blue. The petals are painted in broad, supple brushstrokes, giving a sense of movement. The vase rests on a white fabric with undulating black lines. The whole is both decorative and spontaneous, emphasizing the formal richness of the subject rather than its realistic fidelity.
