Elephants by Raoul Dufy

In 1911, Dufy was in a difficult situation. He was 33 years old, he was married and poor. Therefore, receiving an offer from the leading Parisian fashion designer Paul Poiret, he without hesitation agreed to do drawings for fabrics. Poire Duffy worked for a year, and then moved to Biancini Ferrier.

At this manufactory, he worked for seven years as the chief artist on fabrics, and then returned to painting. Despite the fact that the fabrics are short-lived, collectors were able to keep for descendants samples of drawings created by Dufy. Working on the cloth, the artist preferred floral ornaments – for example, pink flowers on a blue background. He also appealed to more complex geometric patterns – “Elephants”, 1922-24.

Dufy also took up other commercial orders. These include tapestries – such as the Mozart’s House, in 1934. In Paris, he decorated the Monkey House in the Botanical Garden and the Palais de Chalay Theater. In addition, he created scenery and stage designs for the Comedie Francaise and created a series of ceramic vases and jugs.
