Gouache on paper, featuring coastline scene; signed and attr. Jean Dufy (French, 1888-1964); 11 1/4 x 17 1/4 inch (28.58 x 43.82 cm). While he did not succeed in becoming the founder of a new style – which never was his goal – Jean did combine the aspects of impressionism, cubism and fauvism in a coherent accumulation. That by itself is an astonishing triumph. Today, his work can be found in countless collections of the most prestigious museums of the world – and the often seven digits prices at his auctions are enough of an indicator of his popularity.
