Sebbene con ogni probabilità sia conosciuto soprattutto per i suoi dipinti fauvisti, Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) si dedicò con profitto anche alla ceramica, ai pannelli murali, ai tendaggi e all'arredamento di design. Questo documentario, che comprende una serie di interviste a mecenati, galleristi e modelle che conobbero personalmente Dufy, avanza l'ipotesi che sia stato uno dei disegnatori più ispirati del XX secolo, un designer che seppe fare tendenza e un pittore di grande talento in grado di competere anche con giganti del calibro di Matisse e di Léger.

Raoul Dufy: Painter and Decorator (1997)
53 min
Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) is perhaps best known for his colourful and joyous fauvistic paintings but also produced a dazzling array of ceramics, wall-hangings, dress fabrics and furniture designs. This film, which includes interviews with patrons, dealers and models who knew Dufy, puts the case that he was one of the fines draughtsmen of the twentieth century, a designer whose influence is still much in evidence and a painter of genius to rank alongside Matisse and Léger.
