Raoul Dufy, Interior with an Open Window, 1928
Raoul Dufy was a French Fauvist painter who began exhibiting his work in 1901/02 and eventually became a great mural painter for the public and on public buildings. Fauvism is most associated with the work of Henri Matisse: Early 20th c. modern artists who emphasized painterly qualities (brush strokes and the like -- the paint form of lo-fi, if you will) and strong color over the realism and verisimilitude of the Impressionists.
