Jean Dufy Sold at Auction Prices

Painter

(b Le Havre, France, 1888; d La Boissière, 1964) French Painter. Following his service in the military, from 1910-1912, Jean Dufy relocated to Paris. Inspired by the work of Braque and Picasso, Dufy created watercolors that expressed a heightened understanding of color and light. In the mid-1920s, Jean Dufy became captivated by the music of the time, such as Darius Millaud and Francis Poulenc, and incorporated this interest into his artwork. While depicting orchestral and musical subjects, Dufy later became enchanted by the coast of Northern France and began to create majestic and effecting landscapes. Throughout the 1950s Dufy explored Western Europe and North America, but inevitably returned to his watercolors and oils of Paris. Just two months after the death of his wife, Ismérie, Jean Dufy died in 1964 in La Boissiere.

  • Jean Dufy "Au Spectacle" Gouache & Graphite on Paper
    Sep. 30, 2026

    Jean Dufy "Au Spectacle" Gouache & Graphite on Paper

    Est: $2,000 - $3,000

    Hand signed and dated in the lower right.  Date: 1923 Provenance: Gallery label from Wally Findlay Galleries.    Image: 17 1/4" x 12 1/2"  Frame: 27" x 22 1/2"    Condition: The image is in good condition with bright and pigmented colors. See images for details.    Artist Bio: Jean Dufy (1888–1964), younger brother of Raoul, was essentially self-taught, turning to painting after seeing Matisse's work at a Le Havre exhibition in 1906; settling in Montmartre after the First World War he became acquainted with Andre Derain, Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. He is best known for Parisian street and society scenes, circuses, horse races, theatre, and above all orchestras and musicians. Watercolor and gouache are central rather than secondary to his practice — the medium suits his rapid calligraphic notation, transparent washes over a quick graphite scaffold, figures indicated in a few flicked strokes with ink-black accents anchoring a high-key palette. He also designed for Theodore Haviland of Limoges for more than thirty years.

    Jean Dufy, 1888 Le Havre – 1964 Boussay

    Est: €250,000 - €350,000

    VOILIERS DANS LE PORT DU HAVRE, 1907 Öl auf Leinwand. 63,5 x 79 cm. Rechts unten signiert. In breitem vergoldetem gekehltem Rahmen. Beigegeben ein Zertifikat von Jacques Bailly, Paris, 10. April 2011, in Kopie. Dufys Bestimmung war nicht von Vornherein im künstlerischen Metier zu suchen, denn er war Außenvertreter eines Handelsunternehmens, das Überseewaren importierte und auch als Sekretär auf dem Überseedampfer „La Savoie“ angestellt, der Le Havre und New York verband. Erst eine Ausstellung, die 1906 in seiner Heimatstadt stattfand und Matisse, Derain, Marquet und Picasso zeigte, führte ihn auf den künstlerischen Weg, der für ihn bestimmt war. Besonders ein Gemälde von Matisse, nämlich „Fenêtre ouverte à Collioure“ beeindruckte ihn mit seinen leuchtenden Farben und strahlendem Licht, sodass es in seinem Werk stark nachhallte – und auch in unserem Werk in Bezug auf Farbintensität und Macht der geometrischen eingebundenen Formen immanent zu sein scheint. In unserem Bild werden Kaimauern gezeigt und kleine trapezförmige Becken, ein Leuchtturm und Lagerhäuser, hinter denen sich das Meer erstreckt. Ein Segelboot beschreibt eine große Vertikale im linken Vordergrund, dessen Segel sich messerscharf in den Wind werfen und den Betrachterraum mit dem Bildraum verbinden. Dufy, der nach seinem Wehrdienst in Paris Drain, Braque, Picasso und Apollinaire begegnete, verwandte fortan vorwiegend stumpfere Farbtöne, wie Braun, Blau und Dunkelrot, während unser Gemälde von 1907 noch in strahlenden diversen Farben leuchtet und der Darstellung zusammen mit ihren gebrochenen geometrischen Formen Dynamik verleiht. Viele seiner meist späteren Werke werden in hochklassigen Museen der ganzen Welt ausgestellt, wie im Musée national d‘Art moderne und im Centre Pompoidou in Paris, in der Albertina in Wien, im Art Institute of Chicago oder im MoMA in New York. Daher ist es uns eine besondere Freude ein so frühes Werk, welches Dufys Heimatstadt zeigt, mit der er emotional verbunden war, anbieten zu dürfen. Der Künstler erhielt seine Ausbildung an der École des Beaux-Arts in Le Havre und folgte 1912 seinem Bruder Raoul Dufy (1877–1953) nach Paris. Dieser stellte ihm seinen Kreis postimpressionistischer Freunde vor, darunter Georges Braque (1882–1963) und Pablo Picasso (1881–1973). 1914 wurde seine erste Ausstellung organisiert, doch die charakteristische Lebendigkeit seiner Palette und seines Pinselstrichs trat erst nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg deutlich hervor.

    JEAN DUFY : Bouquet de Fleurs, 1920

    Est: RM75,000 - RM130,000

    In the 1900’s, Jean Dufy decided to pursue a career as a painter after visiting an exhibition put on by the “Cercle de l’Art Moderne” in Le Havre. There, he discovered the works of Picasso and Derain, with whom became friends years later. After receiving formal training at Le Havre’s École des Beaux-Arts where both his brother, Raoul Dufy and Georges Braque had studied. His brother was an established artist in Paris and he took Jean under his wings in 1912. Jean had his first show in 1914 at Galerie Berthe Wall where he presented his watercolours for the first time. Following the favourable response from his first exhibition, he went on to work intensively on his paintings of flowers, landscapes and animals. During the post war period, Jean’s painting and unusual choice of canvas; porcelain style bold and vibrant colours that exude a romantic feel. Capturing everyday Parisian life was a clear passion for Jean Dufy but he never missed an opportunity to reflect his impressions in his work after the 1950’s. In 1925, Jean Dufy won a gold medal at the L’exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs for his porcelain designs, which focused on florals, and animal designs that were commissioned by Theodore Haviland in Limoges. His expertise in combining his loose decorative approach to colours and line during the early years of the 30-year association with Limoges is reflected in his artwork series called The Bouquet de Fleurs. It is a tasteful piece to add to a fine art collection especially since it is by a reputable Parisian artist who has greatly influenced the post expressionism style.

Un certificat d'authenticité de Monsieur Jacques Bailly, en date du 18 mai 2026, sera remis à l'acquéreur.  Gouache and watercolor on paper, signed and dated ‘[19]27’ lower right Provenance: Collection particulière, France Notice: « "L'importance de la lumière", disait Jean Dufy. Il faut ajouter "la couleur comme langage". Langage de pureté, de noblesse et de force pour le blanc, souvent réservé aux clowns, aux chevaux et aux athlètes. Sur un fond chromatique puissant - rouge, bleu et noir - en accord avec la tension et l'appréhension qui accompagnent généralement les numéros de voltige, quelques légers mouvements de pinceau, à l'apparence serpentine, soulignent de blanc les corps en extension des Trapézistes (cat. B.532). Ce goût des couleurs et l'hommage à la couleur blanche trouvent leur apothéose dans un grand tableau de 1927 intitulé Le cirque (cat. B.464), œuvre à la gloire du cheval, exprimée magnifiquement. Le cirque est privé de sa scène circulaire au profit d'un large espace où évoluent les chevaux, montés ou non, chacun selon son numéro. Au centre, un maître de manège vêtu de rouge fait se cabrer une paire de chevaux blancs, derrière lesquels se dressent trois autres chevaux rouge sang et anthracite. Tout autour, d'autres chevaux de Haute école encerclent le couple somptueux. Le public, assis sur les gradins, dans l'ombre se fait modeste alors que la scène reçoit les pleins feux des projecteurs, écrits en multiples blancs cassés, jaunes, rouges vifs, orange et bleus turquoise. Les tons complémentaires forts se heurtent aux tonalités claires dans une matière inégale, parfois transparente, parfois lourde, libérant ainsi sur l'ensemble de la toile l'intensité et le rythme recherchés. Dans cette œuvre, Jean Dufy suspend le temps et invite le spectateur à la contemplation. Dans le coin en bas à gauche, la signature-écriture. Dans le coin en bas à droite, le clown blanc à la guitare.

    JEAN DUFY (Le Havre, 1888 - La Boissière,1964). "Village with bridge. Watercolor on paper. It has slight restoration in the upper left area. It has an informative label on the back. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 31 x 37 cm; 56 x 62 cm (frame). This watercolor by Jean Dufy condenses with remarkable sensitivity one of the most characteristic qualities of the French artist: his ability to transform everyday scenes into lyrical visions built from the light, the chromatic rhythm and the spontaneity of the stroke. The composition, apparently simple, contains a synthesis of the French avant-garde of the early 20th century and a poetic view of the modern landscape. The work immediately reveals Dufy's aesthetic affiliation with Fauvism and with a certain French post-impressionist tradition. Color is not used here to faithfully describe reality, but to suggest atmospheres. The translucent blues, the watery grays and the delicate ochre shades generate a sensation of luminous serenity, almost musical, that envelops the entire scene. The watercolor is deployed through quick stains and loose lines that barely delimit the architectural forms, allowing the paper to breathe and actively participate in the luminous construction of the image. This economy of means demonstrates great technical mastery: The work must be understood within the artistic evolution of Jean Dufy, younger brother of the also celebrated Raoul Dufy, whose influence was decisive in his early years. Born in Le Havre in 1888, Jean was formed in an environment deeply linked to the artistic transformations of modern France. The discovery of the works of Henri Matisse, André Derain and Pablo Picasso marked his early sensibility, pushing him towards a painting free from academic naturalism. His passage through Fauvism, his contact with Cubism through Georges Braque and his experience as a designer for the Haviland porcelain manufactory in Limoges contributed to the development of an aesthetic based on linear elegance, decorative refinement and chromatic sensitivity. After the traumatic experience of World War I, Dufy became fully integrated into the Parisian art scene, where he consolidated a language of his own, far removed from both the radicalism of the more aggressive avant-garde and traditional academicism. His urban scenes, ports, regattas, concerts, racetracks and rural landscapes reflect an optimistic and musical vision of modern life. "Village with Bridge" belongs precisely to that more intimate and contemplative side of his production, where the artist abandons the Parisian bustle to focus on small provincial scenes treated with atmospheric sensitivity and an almost impressionistic delicacy. The work also allows us to appreciate the importance of travels and stays outside Paris in his artistic development. From the mid-twenties, especially after his trips to Venice, Dufy intensified his use of transparent blue ranges and light techniques such as watercolor and gouache, resources that allowed him to capture with immediacy the variations of light and the vibration of the landscape. It has slight restoration in the upper left area.

    Jean Dufy

    Est: €6,500 - €13,000

    (1888 Le Havre - 1964 Boussay) "Portrait de femme". Originaltitel Mit dynamischem Duktus, 1926 geschaffenes, charakteristisches Bildnis Dufys, der wesentlich durch die Fauvisten beeinflusst wurde. Seine Bildsprache zeichnet sich durch einen freien, gestischen Stil mit klaren, leuchtenden Farben und ornamentalen graphischen Elementen aus. Jean Dufy war der jüngere Bruder des bekannten Fauvisten Raoul Dufy (1877 - 1953), was ihn in seinem Entschluss bestärkt haben dürfte, sich nach kaufmännischer Ausbildung und Militärdienst der Malerei zuzuwenden. 1912 zog Jean Dufy nach Paris und begegnete dort rasch André Derain, Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso und dem bedeutenden Dichter und Schriftsteller Guillaume Apollinaire. Bereits 1914 präsentierte Dufy erstmals seine Aquarelle in der "Galerie Berthe Weill" in Paris und fand große Anerkennung, 1920-1938 beteiligte sich Jean Dufy an einer Reihe von Ausstellungen in Paris und New York. 1937 führte er zusammen mit seinem Bruder Raoul ein monumentales Deckenfresko für die Weltausstellung aus. Pastell und Bleistift/bräunliches Papier. R. u. sign. und dat. 1926 sowie mit Widmung "á mon ami Giran Max" (vmtl. Léon Giran-Max, Paris 1867-1927). Verso auf Papieretikett betitelt soiwe mit div. Beschriftungen. Ca. 42 cm x 37 cm. Rahmen. Coloured chalks and pencil on brownish paper. Signed and dated 1926. Dedication "á mon ami Giran Max".

    Est: €15,000 - €25,000

    PAYSAGE DANS LE LIMOUSIN, 1928 Öl auf Leinwand. 54 x 65 cm. Rechts unten signiert und datiert „Jean Dufy (19)28“. Verso oben auf Keilrahmen mit Bleistift betitelt und in Rot bezeichnet „le Faucheur“. Beigegeben eine Echtheitsbestätigung der Galerie Bailly, Zertifikat Nr. 4937, signiert von Jacques Bailly, Paris, 2. September 2024. Das Werk zeigt eine idyllische ländliche Szene: im Vordergrund ein Bauer mit einer schwarzen Sense, der gerade dabei ist Korn oder hohes Gras des vor ihm liegenden Feldes zu schneiden. Die Felder, eines mit Kühen, und Wege, die das Gemälde durchziehen, schaffen eine rhythmische Struktur, die den Betrachter in das Gemälde hineinführt. Im Hintergrund eine Dorfansicht, mit einem linksseitig in die Höhe ragenden Kirchturm vor hohem, türkis- und blaufarbenem Himmel mit angedeuteten weißen Wolken. Das Werk belegt Dufys Können, die Schönheit und Ruhe des Landlebens mit lebendigen Farben und expressiven Formen in schnellem und freien Pinselduktus einzufangen. Der Künstler erhielt seine Ausbildung an der École des Beaux-Arts in Le Havre und folgte 1912 seinem Bruder Raoul Dufy (1877–1953) nach Paris. Dieser stellte ihm seinen Kreis postimpressionistischer Freunde vor, darunter Georges Braque (1882–1963) und Pablo Picasso (1881–1973). 1914 wurde seine erste Ausstellung organisiert, doch die charakteristische Lebendigkeit seiner Palette und seines Pinselstrichs trat erst nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg deutlich hervor.
