Love 1910

Raoul Dufy's "Love" (1910) is a striking woodcut depicting a couple embracing amidst a garden setting. The simplified forms and bold lines create a graphic intensity, characteristic of Dufy's early work. The use of black and white emphasizes the stark contrast between light and shadow, adding depth and drama to the composition. "Love" exemplifies Dufy's exploration of printmaking, a medium he utilized to capture the essence of intimacy and the beauty of everyday life. The artwork is currently housed at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art in Norman, Oklahoma.
