About This Piece

In 1920 Raoul Dufy illustrated Madrigaux, a collection of light, playful verses by the French poet Stéphane Mallarmé. This image comes from that project: a blue-hulled sailboat with a yellow sail and a paddle steamer in the distance, set against soft stripes of pink, yellow, and blue that stand in for sky and water. Dufy grew up in the port city of Le Havre, and boats, harbors, and the sea stayed with him for his entire career.

The pastel palette is light and easy, perfect for coastal homes, nurseries, bathrooms, and sunny bedrooms. It pairs beautifully with white walls, light wood, and other seaside prints, and makes a sweet small piece for a shelf or bedside.

About the Artist

Raoul Dufy (1877–1953) was a French painter who developed one of the most immediately recognizable styles of the twentieth century: loose, calligraphic line laid over fields of color that don't quite stay inside the drawing. He painted regattas, racetracks, concert halls, and the light of the Côte d'Azur with a speed and lightness that looked effortless and wasn't. He spent years working as a textile designer for Paul Poiret, and that decorative sensibility never left his canvases. Joy was not incidental to his work. It was the point.
