Raoul Dufy The Library of great painters

by Alfred Werner, Raoul Dufy

Dr. Alfred Werner is an authority on modern French art and has written numerous books on the subject. He traces Dufy's style from its academic beginnings and late-Impressionist phase through the revolutionary impact of of Matisse and the Fauves, with whom Dufy exhibited in the Salon d'Automne of 1906. Then he examines the influence of Cezanne and Cubism, and the years of study and experimentation by which Dufy arrived at his own highly individualistic style. 10x13", 168 pp., b&w illustrations, 48 tipped-in color plates.

Books about Dufy are hard to find. I enjoy this book simply because it exists, but wish it showed more of Dufy's variety.
