Nothing softens an entryway like a painted surface. The Workshop in Vence by Raoul Dufy arrives as a hand painted oil painting on canvas, offering the fine art detail, soft gradients, and tactile finish that fine art oil painting shoppers look for.
L'atelier de Vence, 1945
Oil on canvas
25 7/8 x 32 1/8 in. (65.7 x 81.6 cm.)
'After the war, in 1945, Dufy stayed in Vence, where he returned to the theme of the nude and the studio. His model, with a more slender and elegant torso than the models of the thirties, is portrayed with an extended brushstroke that is characteristic of Dufy's style in this period. This treatment is as free as the painting of the landscape seen through the large bay window beside which the model is posing. It presents a view of the town of Vence, with its recognisable terraced hills of olive trees and their surrounding walls. This landscape, which is framed in the rectangle of the window, is flush with the pictorial plane and can be understood either as a real view or as the painted image of a landscape, a 'painting within a painting', like the works hanging on the walls which form a part of the composition' (D. Perez-Tibi, Dufy, London, 1989, pp. 246-247).
As entryway wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other fauvist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
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.
