The Racecourse, Ascot - Raoul Dufy - Canvas Oil Painting brings gallery-caliber art into everyday spaces. This fine art oil painting is a 100% hand painted oil painting on canvas, created for buyers who want genuine fauvist canvas wall art instead of a mass-produced poster or paper print.
Le champ de courses, Ascot, circa 1937
gouache, watercolour and brush and ink on paper
This work is sold with a photo-certificate from Fanny-Guillon Laffaille.
'Gradually, in Dufy's race-course scenes... everything is given up to the crisp, jaunty interaction between green turf, red brick buildings, white railings, multi-coloured crowds, green trees against blue sky with sprightly puffs of clouds' (B. Robertson, Raoul Dufy 1877-1953, London, 1983).
The present gouache perfectly exemplifies Robertson's critique. Ascot's scenery is depicted in all the luscious exuberance of in full bloom June. This picture is an ode to the brightness of the English countryside on a clear summer day. In the crisp light, the pink grandstand and the mauve marquise offer a backdrop to the colourful crowds of spectators, horses and jockeys moving towards the races. This ambitious, frieze-like composition has the remarkable freshness and chromatic exuberance typical of Dufy's most successful gouaches.
Every hand painted oil painting in this fine art series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
This is a genuine hand painted oil painting, not a canvas print. Our painters match the palette of The Racecourse, Ascot by eye and build up the fine art forms in thin layers, which is what gives the finished fine art oil painting its luminosity.
Hang this fine art oil painting above a sofa, console, or bed to give an entryway an instant focal point. Its fauvist palette works with both minimalist and period interiors, and the piece also makes a considered gift for housewarmings, weddings, and art lovers.
In short: The Racecourse, Ascot - Raoul Dufy - Canvas Oil Painting combines a fauvist composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for fine art oil painting and entryway wall decor.
