The artwork titled “Flags,” created by Raoul Dufy in 1906, is an oil painting on canvas that measures 45.7 x 37.8 cm. This cityscape belongs to the Fauvism art movement and is currently housed in a private collection.
In the artwork, Dufy captures the vibrant festivity of a city adorned with an array of flags. The painting is characterized by bold, vivid colors and energetic brush strokes, hallmarks of the Fauvist style. The collection of flags in various shapes and sizes, each rendered in intense hues, creates a sense of movement and jubilation. The busy composition, combined with the abstract representation of surrounding architecture, conveys a lively urban scene full of patriotic fervor and celebration.
