Anglers 1908

"Anglers" (1908) by Raoul Dufy, a prominent French Fauvist painter, showcases a group of figures observing boats on the water. The scene is painted in bold, flat colors characteristic of the Fauvist style, where the artist emphasizes emotion and subjective experience over accurate representation. The composition is simple, with the figures arranged in a line along the foreground, their gaze directed towards the boats in the distance. Dufy's use of vivid color and simplified forms creates a vibrant and lively scene, capturing the spirit of the French seaside.
