Looking for fine art oil painting with real brushwork? Mozart 1916 is reproduced by hand in oils on artist-grade canvas after Raoul Dufy. The result is a piece of fauvist oil painting wall decor that anchors a dining room and rewards a closer look.
1916
Oil on canvas
31 3/4 x 25 1/2 in. (80.6 x 64.7 cm.)
In her essay on this painting, Lucy R. Lippard writes, "Dufy had a lifelong attachment to musical subjects, among which references to Mozart's rococo forms often appeared. 'My eyes were made to efface that which is ugly,' he once said, and his art finally reflected his involvement with fashion and theatre design in its acceptance of the conventionally pretty. This painting represents a transitional period in which the remnants of Dufy's fauve and cubist styles provided a solid skeleton of angular form and bright color on which to superimpose the calligraphic motifs that eventually comprised his mature style. The flat and decorative central area contrasts with the weightier cubist periphery. House, horn and score are drawn, rather than painted, as are the curling lines of the sculptured pediment, ironwork gate and vine at the right. They are not fragmented and integrated into the whole as they would have been in a cubist work, but are separated and pulled forward as such objects often were in French baroque illustration and ornament" (Museum of Modern Art, exh. cat., op. cit.).
The fine art subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of fauvist oil painting wall decor.
Materials matter for fauvist wall decor. That is why this piece is built on artist-grade canvas with lightfast oil colors, applied by hand rather than output from a printer, and sealed for long-term display.
Style it over a fireplace, behind a reading chair, or along a staircase. Wherever it goes, this fauvist oil painting wall decor adds the layered color that only a hand painted canvas provides.
