Arcades at L'Estaque 1908

"Arcades at L'Estaque" (1908) by Raoul Dufy is a vibrant and simplified depiction of a structure with arches against a backdrop of lush greenery. This painting, executed in bold strokes and a limited color palette, exemplifies Dufy's Fauvist approach to landscape painting, characterized by expressive brushwork and a focus on color and light. The work, showcasing the artist's signature use of color and form, captures the essence of L'Estaque, a town in the south of France that was a frequent subject of his paintings.
