Street Decked with Flags 1906

"Street Decked with Flags" (1906), a vibrant painting by Raoul Dufy, captures the festive atmosphere of a Parisian street adorned with French flags. Dufy's Fauvist style, characterized by bold colors and simplified forms, is evident in the dynamic arrangement of flags, buildings, and figures. The painting's lively energy evokes the celebration of a national event, showcasing Dufy's ability to capture the spirit of everyday life. This work, now residing in the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, is a testament to Dufy's enduring legacy as a leading figure in the French art scene.
