Raoul Dufy
Raoul Dufy was a French Fauvist painter. He developed a colorful, decorative style that became fashionable for designs of ceramics and textiles, as well as decorative schemes for public buildings. This enormous mural titled Electric Fairy by Raoul Dufy measuring 10 x 60 meters comprised of 225 painted panels was commissioned by the Compagnie parisienne de distribution d'électricité to decorate the curving walls of the Pavilion de L'Electricite et de la Lumiere at the 1937 World's Fair in Paris. Dufy's painting, one of the largest ever made by any artist, was inspired by the story of the Electric Fairy from the ancient Roman poet Lucretius's On the Nature of Things. The composition is divided into two main themes: the history of electricity, and its various modern applications.
what is the meaning of life? 🌀 painted this one with a quote from a James Taylor’s music, with a reflection about the meaning of life. to be honest, I think life is all about being who we want to be, in a way that we can always enjoy the present moment. being who we want to be, without expectations or preconceived ideas! and we don’t have to take life too seriously. that’s all. the meaning of life, 160x200cm, acrylic and oil on raw canvas
