regatta on the coast raoul dufy

regatta on the coast raoul dufyThis work shows one of Raoul Dufy's favourite themes: regattas and gatherings of sailing boats by the sea. He used a visual language based on the repetition of shapes, the brilliance of colours and a free organisation of space, detached from any realistic perspective. The sea becomes a pretext for a rhythmic, festive composition. The painting depicts a dense ensemble of sailboats, pennants, flags and masts, all set against an almost homogenous light

Vassily describes the circle as a "cosmic link" and a "synthesis of great contrasts"

The painting offers an interesting contrast between the tranquillity of the scene and the dynamism of the colours and shapes
