Bateaux au port, circa 1930
Oil on canvas
Regatta and seascapes were among Dufy's favorite subjects. The joyful and dynamic atmosphere of the races and the ports presented Dufy with ample opportunities to experiment with movement and colour. He produced numerous depictions of Le Havre and Deauville from 1925-1930, keeping his treatment fresh by varying colours and perspectives.
Bateaux au port is a quintessential scene of the port at Deauville. Dufy vividly depicts the joie de vivre of this resort town by using his signature vocabulary: brilliant flags, strong use of Prussian blue, flat areas of colour and couleur-lumière. Although Dufy was interested in depicting spontaneous movement through his use of rapid brushwork, he was more absorbed in experimenting with his theory of couleur-lumière. Dufy wrote, 'the colour captures the light that forms and animates the group as a whole. Every object or group of objects is placed within its own area of light and shade, receiving its share of reflections and being subjected to the arrangement decided by the artist' (quoted in D. Perez-Tibi, Dufy, London, 1989, p. 150).
As bedroom wall art, the piece pairs naturally with other fauvist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
Each canvas is painted entirely by hand with professional oil paints on artist-grade cotton canvas. No printing, giclée, or digital imaging is used at any stage, so the surface keeps the slight relief and color variation of real brushwork.
This landscape oil painting wall decor is equally at home in a residence, a boutique hotel, or a professional office. Its fauvist character makes it a safe, distinctive gift for anyone furnishing a bedroom.
Order Boats in Port as a hand painted oil painting on canvas and add lasting fauvist character to your bedroom. Custom sizes, a digital proof before dispatch, and secure worldwide shipping are included.
